Moderately Worthwhile, 17 February 2008
6/10
Author: LostHighway101 from Pennsylvania

I enjoy watching this movie because of its lush Honduran scenery, unabashed 80s giddiness, and Daniel Stern- who is really the anchor of this film. It also delivers a story about army reservists, whom you hardly ever see movies made about.

I saw it on Plex in early June 2004 and found it a relaxing watch. If it's ever on, give it a watch, you won't regret it. But don't get me wrong, underneath its subjective pleasantry, it's still a TV-movie. But if you're ever in the mood for something different, with likable characters and (let me stress this again) GREAT SCENERY, then this is for you. Also, Army buffs are sure to appreciate this one.

Cool ending too.
