Really enjoyed this movie, but...


... Tom Berenger was the least convincing Special Ops Team Commander I've seen.

His fight scenes were just terrible.

I agree, those fight scenes were cringeworthy.

They are bad, but his acting makes up for it. Strong line reads and a likeable way about him makes up for it.

What i didnt understand was why the writers felt it necessary to keep killing off chunks of his teams! First in cuba and then at the end! Wasnt really buying him as a leader! Kinda reminds me off zapp branigann from futurama!

LOL I know, this was the 90's response to Expendables. They were literally expendable.

You have been CRURNED!

I was saying the same thing to myself. These guys have survived numerous missions in hostile territory and meet their maker at the hands of some young Miami thugs...
