No this isn't one of the good/bad Highlanders. There can be only one explanation. The acting, the dialogue, the script, the directing, the premise but most of all the ending can only be an attempt to wind up on Mystery Science Theater 3000. It won't, it is not sciency enough and too much low hanging fruit.
***SPOILERS***
The most amazing thing about this film is I watched it until I read the words, The Team will Return.
I recognize there can be a need in the midst of battle to improvise but these guys are apparently so good the decision to leave the barracks and everything that happens after is an improvisation.
The commanders job has nothing to do with planning and strategy. His sole job is to stand there and yell "I need it now!"
The President seems a sensitive and caring fellow which brings me to the commanders second job now that I think of it. He needs to keep the President informed every hour around the clock on the status of getting Daniel back. I think most of those reports are pretty much saying, "Sir, we really aren't doing much of anything as regards that".
Why the President so involved with this? How bout a shot of the British leader, or the Chinese or French one? They just donated a couple guys to the task force and beyond that they just don't care? Maybe that is because out of the 7 chances only the Americans get killed or caught. Lucky for them we could see the story progression that they are now all brothers. Sorry Galina, and sisters.
Speaking of Galina, in the next two installments I hope they start giving her about a 3 minute head start to get into position. She never got there in time but though she gets there late she piles up the bodies.
I can't think of a movie I have ever given a 1. If I watch it to the end it had to have some redeeming quality, We watched it to the end curious how much worse it could be. The end is both hilarious and a threat.
