I may be a tiny chimney-sweep but I've got an enormous brush.
I must agree with the OP. This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen (or seen half of - I didn't make it through to the end).
I think that one problem was that it couldn't decide what sort of movie it wanted to be: A tale of a group of wise-cracking heroic dudes, or a gritty action movie? This meant that many of the lines jarred. As for the golf-course scene, did the director think he was directing one of the Beatles movies or a pop video???
I have often enjoyed Charlie Sheen's performances. Now, I don't think I'll ever be able to watch him again without seeing Hawkins. Right from the beginning where he leaps off the bridge, just to show what a craayyyzeee guy he is, his character is a caricature. It would be undeserved praise to say that the performance is two-dimensional. The "rag-head" comments in the restaurant were naked racism, and the only credible response from Joanne Whalley's character would have been contempt.
i thought this was an excellent feel good action movie. I think the golf scene worked, i thought it was a funny and an original attempt to get you to know the characters. Sheen's character was a bit ott but this is an action Movie , you could say the same about the characters in other squad based action movies like Aliens and Predator.
The action scenes are well done and overall I think the movie is underated it deserves at least a 6.o rating
Yes.
Sheen's character was the comic relief in the movie.
Kind of a mediocre movie but Michael Biehn saved it from being crap.
2 1/2 out of 5 stars.
This is a great action movie, It's not meant to be Oscar material for gods sake! It's the best Special forces film Ive seen and has a brilliant score. Yes it has flaws but what film doesn't???
shareYeah this movie does show some realistic actions unlike the others old action movie that I seen.
shareBest special forces action ever filmed was one scene in Munich. It was the reenactment of Operation Wrath of God where the Israeli Matkal (their delta/seal like force) assasinated many of the PLO responsible for the Munich massacre. Leaps and bound better and more realistic than this freaking garbage.
shareYou live in a trailer, right?
shareIt's so bad, it becomes good in spots.
It's just fun to watch, if you don't take it too seriously.

"Life is full of censorship. I can't spit in your eye."
Actually, it's so bad it never becomes good in any spots, it just makes you wonder what they could have done with the money instead.
shareWell a huge key to how and why it was made has to do with WHEN it was made. Late eighties, early nineties. Of course things were still going to be in excess, in a post Rambo(3 anyway) hollywood, I mean, for gods sake one of the SEALS wore chuck taylors into combat (no joke). When it came out I loved it, but I was like 12, and mainly I just liked that Biehn and Paxton were in it. Most action flicks are still bad, just in a different way then they were back then.
"But it's got electrolytes..."
After having avoided this finless brown trout in the theatre during its original run and then when it made the rounds on cable for years, it finally popped up on late night TV here in Taiwan whilst I was attempting to do something else.
Hollywood never fails to astonish me. How did they pitch this steaming road omlette during the presentation to the studio executive? "Guess what guys, I've just read this awesome script. This film has something to offer everyone, whether you're interested in flawed military tactics, character stereotypes or plots consisting of pure rubbish. Waddaya say we spend 15 million to produce this baby?"
Utter dross!
It's basically Top Gun without the planes and without the gay subtext, whats the big deal? It's entertaining at least and you should just look at it as an action movie and switch your brains off. Hollywood make alot crapper films in this day and age believe me.
shareDid you just use all your available brain power to come up with 'witty' alternatives to describe turds?
shareyou have to see this movie with the right attitude. its a fun 80´s flick with only one objective, to be entertaining. It has some bad mofos, kickin butt, killin terrorists. with cheesy one liners, and crazy shootings! With a couple of beers and a few friends over, this movie is a lot of fun, c´mon
How do you like your brandy, sir?
In a glass.
This movie was so bad it gave Charlie Sheen AIDS.
