Most reviewers didn't seem to like this movie but I did.
American soldiers on duty, in the Philippines when the Japanese attack at the start of WWII. Their idealistic life of Polo playing and just enjoying their free time is soon Shattered as the bullets start to fly and reality sets in. They are ordered to leave their station and head to the capital. All they have is their Polo ponies for transport which serve them well in the rugged terrain. (This kinda reminds me of the 2020 movie TWELVE STRONG where US soldiers use horses to their advantage).
We ride along with the troop as they encounter and best everything in their path that might stop them.
I must say I enjoyed this movie as pure entertainment.
Aside from the constant freeze-frames and the side story of a 22 year old's sex challenges, it is a lot of fun.
Richard Jaeckal is outstanding as the one soldier who kicks ass and bests the enemy at every turn. If you have seen some of Richard's movies, you will have to agree he was one fantastic actor.
