Finally got around to seeing this.
Schlocky, 3rd rate, cliche ridden, terrible acting, plot, stupid rapping.
I'm guessing/hoping this is the worst film Eastwood ever made.
Bob Dylan sucked during the 80s too. It was a weird decade, a period where the nation went back to school and joined a fraternity.

Fair enough :)
shareI guess I'm in the minority here, I really enjoy this one..
shareI did too, it was reminiscent of The Dirty Dozen what with all of the training hijinks in the first half and a dire mission in the second half.
shareYes, it was very reminiscent of The Dirty Dozen, except the dire mission in the 2nd half was rescuing rich kids who couldn't get into medical school in the states. :)
It would have been cool if Clint had tackled something meaty back then like the battle of The Chosin, the evac.at Hungnam.
This was just another vehicle for him to do his usual schtick of prancing around as a charicature of a hard guy, doing his rahrah for Reagan, while the real war was going on in Central America.
That made no sense.
Let’s agree not to chat anymore.
I don know if it's the worst film he made but I've always thought it's the stupidest.
shareSee. I'm not alone. I thought 'The Unforgiven' was a masterpiece. He is an amazingly uneven director.
But the Unforgiven came from a great novel of the same name. If he has anything to do with a screenplay, its probably schmaltz.
It's not Clint's greatest, but hey, it's Clint so it's still pretty good.
shareHere is a great review (its not kind, but is funny) :
