My review was written in May 1992 after watching the film on Republic Pictures video cassette.
Former TV star Gil Gerard goes home video as the strong silent hero of the actioner "Soldier's Fortune". Lack of pizzazz or novelty puts a lid on this title's chances.
Gerard is called in when his ex-wife's daughter is kidnapped in suspicious circumstances. He's literally a soldier of fortune, called away from a guerrilla war in Central America.
Corny plot revelation is that the missing girl (Barbara Bingham) is really the daughter Gerard never knew he had. He sets about recruiting a rescue team of old cronies, notable only for a feisty woman (Janus Blythe) who insists on coming along because her sister was also kidnapped.
Film lags after the kidnapping and lacks suspense. Final showdown between Gerard and his old nemesis Charles Napie is an anti-climax.
