RELEASE: 2010; GENERE: Comedy; RUN-TIME: 1 hr, 38 mins RATED: PG-13 for sequences of intense action and violence, a scene of sensuality
SYNOPSIS: The movie is based upon the Vertigo comic about a team of mercenaries who wage war on the CIA after they're double-crossed in the field and left to die. The four main characters are on a blacks-ops mission in the Bolivian jungle when a rogue CIA agent named Max hangs them out to dry. After beating the odds and surviving their ordeal, the team decides to strike back against Max even if it means sacrificing their own lives to do so. Aiding them on their treacherous suicide mission is sexy operative Aisha, who has her own reasons for wanting to see Max get his just desserts. But getting to Max won't be easy, because in addition to having the CIA on his side, he's about to spark a war that could plunge the entire globe into chaos. Their time quickly running out as Max's plan kicks into overdrive, the Special Forces unit that everyone assumed dead arms themselves to the teeth and prepares to strike back with a vengeance.
REVIEW: Like most action films, the movie starts strong. However, once you get past the first few explosives, there isn’t much left. Even though there is loads of violent fun, not to be taken seriously, the overall plot is weak and lacks a good script. It is what it is. An under-budgeted homage to bad B-movies; a movie of losers. I give it [2-Stars].
