    • Trivia
      Although neither Las Vegas nor Alabama figures in the plot, these two areas did play a special role in the film. Robert Duvall (Shrike), the mercenary hired by the plumbers to guide their rescue mission, to prepare for his part in the movie, visited Las Vegas to attend a convention held by Soldier of Fortune Magazine, the Bible of mercenaries, weekend soldiers, and weapon afficionados. There, Duvall had a chance to familiarize himself with the firearms and knives used by mercenaries, meet the men who have devoted their lives to fighting counterinsurgency and guerrilla wars, and pick their brains for ideas. Duvall also made a special trip to a mercenary camp in Alabama, where he had a chance to observe these professionals in action as they trained for future combat. One of the outcomes of these trips was a new look, including a shaven head, and a new catalogue of mannerisms, which Duvall brought to the film with stunningly realistic results.

    What's wrong with everybody? It's a good movie
    I was afraid to see this as here has 5,1 and only 19 reviews... all this would lead to a terrible movie. Instead when I saw it a month ago I found myself in the minority as I liked it very much.

    American engineer Harry Burck (Mark Harmon) is in Colombia for the opening of his company's pipeline. Unfortunately a group of rebels arrive for kidnapping an American diplomat and in the process, Harry is also kidnapped. News arrive to his brother Corey and his friends Bob (Thomas F. Wilson), Kurt (Rick Rossovich) and Spence, that soon discover that the kidnapping of Harry was orchestrated by drug lord Carlos Ochobar. Before heading to Colombia they enlist the help of car salesman Jack (Gary Busey) and mercenary Norman Shrike (Robert Duvall), that gives the group some basic training in military tactics. Once there they encounter resistance, spend one night in jail because they are set up by one of Shrike's contacts and taken to a plane (all but Kurt escape from it). When they finally reach Ochobar, there is a big shootout (where Norman and Jack are killed) and save Harry, and before leaving they make the camp explode.

    So, does it deserve the hate and bad reviews? Absolutely not! The acting, while not outstanding, is very good. Robert Duvall as usual plays an endearing character (and a bit of a macho too here), Gary Busey gives one of his best performances, and the others (Wilson, Rossovich) are all entertaining. The soundtrack is very soaring, and the action sequences, despite lots of shootouts, explosions and deaths are great and they were justified.

    Overall, an action movie much better than its reputation might suggest, and also one that can be enjoyed not only by fans of the genre. Worth watching and a lot of fun.
