Action film you say? I beg the differ
Northtribe322 June 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The film is about a couple, Bo and Angie.

Bo works as a photojournalist and they are both off to Colombia for some work there.

While there they get imprisoned and accused of a crime they didn't commit. Of course the man responsible for this is highly corrupt, Alvarez played by James Ryan.

Bo eventually ends up in hospital while Angie is still held captive. In some way she is able to call her father Jethro (Richard Lynch) for help.

What ever happened to Bo after this is rather unclear for a pretty long time. Richard Lynch realizes he can't do this all by himself so he teams up with an old pal named Wayne (played by Cameron Mitchell). Mitchell tries to recruit more people for the rescue mission but fails. They take Mitchell's private airplane but crash land somewhere in Jamaica. Once there they get attacked but somehow are able to escape.

I'll leave it at that storywise to try and not spoil the entire film for you.

The biggest flaw of this film is that it's ment to be an action film but this film is lacking that to a rather large amount of time. It takes about 1 hour or so into the film when things really get going in terms of action.

This is really a shame because I wish I could have gotten a really cool action filled film with both Richard Lynch and Cameron Mitchell. This is rather sad because I now know I'll never see another film where they team up (the only other time I've seen them in the same film was in the 1987 film Nightforce and Cameron Mitchell had a very small part in that one).

I did not care too much for Bo or Angie's characters in this as they were rather bland. The star of this film is definitely Richard Lynch. It's so refreshing to see him play a hero character instead of a bad guy which he usually played for about 90% of his career. I also liked the music and the locations, it's just so damn irritating they didn't use those location as ther advantage while making an "action" film. The few action sequences that are seen here are ok but not more than that. The very end of the film was also a huge disappointment.

Only recommended if you are a die hard fan of either Richard Lynch or Cameron Mitchell, otherwise stay away from this flick.

My rating: 4 out of 10.
