Review Time

Warning/Disclaimer: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/shooting/racism/references to white supremacy and sexual assault. Disclaimer: because of the sensitive world we are now living in; I would like to state that anything I say in this content is not deemed as racial, it is just the way things were back then so I wouldn't be saying it if it was their way in the first place.

Essentially what we have here is; a rip-off of the 1980's The A-Team TV program: in a nutshell; this Mexican community are under the control of Militia/"Sons of Texas" [a white supremacist group as well] led by Lamont Sperry [Marshall R. Teague:] he is an ex-Special Forces Commander which has done many illegal arms deals. Eventually this group of highly skilled individuals led by McQue [Robert Davi:] a cold individual that undertakes this mission for a certain amount of money and whatever Sperry is sitting on. Yes don't worry we may not have Ex-United States Army Special Forces 5th Special Forces Group Sergeant First Class Bosco Albert "B.A." Baracus/nickname “Bad Attitude" [portrayed by Mr. T. was also a wrestler] But we do have Dash Simms [Roddy Piper was also a wrestler:] a member of McQue unit for this essentially mercenary mission, he is specialty other then having similar skills to the vast majority of the rest of this group is driving.

The framework and pacing of this 81 minutes film is so boring, to the point where I was struggling to keep awake and whilst I am on this section what the hell was the black-and-white scenes for as it relates to the action? I mean in theory I get them, it is to signify or probably to signify a character in his either dying or dead with that blow. But that idea does not work when generally speaking you continue their action sequence which in turn makes these black-and-white moments looking and feeling; cheap, tacky, tedious and utterly pointless.

Action/Comedy/Art: in a nutshell and for an example; we have McQue on his motorcycle whilst Simms is driving his car [which on observation as I have just realised it also says on the number plate; I have also censored this; "Legit Bad Posterior"] so McQue is on his motorcycle whilst  Simms is driving with Jeremy Britt [Larry B. Scott:] he is the equipment and other things guy of the group that does not have weapons training of some description behind him. But back to this sequence; Simms shows off his incredibly quick driving talent/skills and at the same time we have McQue pulling wheelies; I think they are raising against one another, but speculation their main focus is to make Britt have brown underwear by the end of the journey just to go and get some pancakes; at one point or another there is in good camera shots, for an example; roughly from the shoulder of Simms, but this is a good sequence in its entirety.

Character developments and performances: they are what they are and their performances or a solid

This film receives: 1/10, this film is poor; even though I have pointed out some good things or/and solid things about it, I have to award this mark based on the facts the negative things about this film are really negative.
