Lara and Drago make great anti-hero/anti-villains!, 5 February 2007
6/10
Author: KnatLouie (jeghader@hotmail.com) from Copenhagen, Denmark

Okay, this movie is directed by Menaham Golan, produced by NuImage and shot in Sofia, Bulgaria and shares half the cast with the movie "Armstrong" and was made in the same year, so I'm guessing they may have been shot back to back.

There aren't really any heroes in this movie, Joe Lara is a rebel leader who takes the Japanese embassy hostage but as far as I could make out he's not really a bad guy. Billy Drago is CIA, but is more of a bad guy and doesn't fair well at the end of the movie.

It tries to make Bulgaria look like Peru unsuccessfully, as it's very obvious it's shot in a former Soviet country, and there are numerous bad fake Spanish accent and not a single ethnic Peruvian in it! But it's not as bad as the other reviews would suggest though. It's obviously factually very incorrect, but if it wasn't trying to be based on real events it's quite competent.

Richard Lynch, Charles Napier, Joe Lara were all in Armstrong. Napier had very little screen time in Armstrong, so they probably flew him over to do one movie and persuaded him to shoot a few scenes for the other in short notice! So overall, I'd recommend this to anyone who liked Armstrong, and of course to anybody else who likes a decent low-budget action-movie.
