    Iraq via Santa Clarita !
    Let's face it ... Chad is NOT his dad , and Madsen is never known for "Stallone-style" heroics ! The eye candy (Shatner) is an unbelievable co-pilot. The "Gulf" here is represented by San Diego of course !

    If this sounds plausible in any way, then heaven help the dirty rotten Iraqis ... I gave up watching after 15 minutes. What was the point of making this wretched film ... ? I kept wondering if Armitraj managed to get his investment back !
