Mercenarios de élite

I stumbled upon this on a Home Screen and noticed how many actors I recognized from different movies. It's like the original 90s Expendables of b list actors. Ralph Moeller, Sven O Arnies buddies he always cameos. Lamar from Revenge of The Nerds. Roddy Piper! Jeep Swanson. The crazy Australian guy from Road Warrior and Weird Science. It's crazy how many people were this. If you watch it for just fun it's enjoyable and has heart. The heroes have honor. If you watch some scenes you can see some funny mishaps. Lamar dude is drinking a Corona but he slams it too hard and it starts to bubble up so he has to sip it or ruin the scene. The blonde is about to snipe a guy and Roddy happens to look right at the barrel as she shoots w no eye protection. You know that was not planned. I didn't expect to enjoy it when the first long training mo rage was playing out but as soon as all the good guys were on screen I was I to it. The 50 cal firing off w just a fire out of the barrel looked so fake but it's a fun movie if you don't take it seriously.

Hmmmm, a small town of peaceful farmers is taken over by bandits who force them to do what they want, and give them all of their food and supplies.

No, I am not talking about Seven Samuri, nor the western remake The Magnificent Seven. I am not even talking about the Disney remake A Bug's Life.

Except instead of 7, there are only 5 or 6 heros in this movie. And instead of Yul Brynner we get Roddie Piper. He does an OK job of acting, but the tired worn out script was so bad, nobody could have saved it.

I can only say that I bought the DVD for $3 on sale, and the movie was worth the $3. But I would not pay anything more for this thing.

Two brothers set out to hire mercenaries to defend their small border town from militants.

Brent Huff's offering is an action throwback that predates The Expendables and channels the dynamics of The A-Team, with a dash of Three Amigos in terms of its plot and border setting.

Interestingly, Huff and Douglas L. Walton's script portrays the surge of militia activity in the United States during the 80's and 1990s, mercenaries for hire, as well as issues surrounding both legal and illegal migration, which, though shifted, remain topical and just as contentious today.

Elevated by its familiar cast ensemble, Robert Davi (Die Hard, License to Kill) leads the crew, joined by Roddy Piper (They Live), Ralf Moeller (Gladiator), Marshall Teague (Road House), and Patrick Dollaghan (Rapid Fire). Shawn Huff leaves an impression. Each brings charisma, making their mismatched team entertaining enough.

Sven-Ole Thorsen (Conan the Barbarian, Red Heat, The Running Man and the late professional wrestler Robert Swenson also appear. Veron Wells cameos.

While the budget shows, Huff compensates with some stunt work and explosive action (mostly in the third act) and 90's DTV charm.

A watchable talky action outing with familiar faces for fans of mercenary and vigilante B-flicks.

wow i saw this move on HBO (thx god i didn't buy it like the other guy) and i would have to say that this movie has the worst acting and stunts in it period. this movie sucked ass. but there is a upside to haveing a movie this bad. you can tell people to rent it and they will laugh all the way back to the video store and then tell you why the hell did you tell me to rent it. this movie is a must watch drunk tho, man it SUCKS!

Might as well watch an episode of the A Team or Knight Rider, it looks so late 90s cheese action made for tv movie though it probably wasn't, think TBS on a Sunday afternoon type B movie. Roddy Piper did a fun job, Davi was his usual self, the Austrian guy I can't put a finger on, maybe he was in Beer Fest with the Super Trooper guys circa 2000s. It was a silly frivolous cheaply made quickie with chessy bad guys, a few familiar faces and the usual poor Immigrant folks who need help lol. Watch it for a laugh, I paid a $1 for it at a charity shop, worth about 50 cents of that but you can't beat cheese, it's no Tango and Cash, or Expendables or 7 Samurai but it is old school silly fun for 80s kids. Late night or Sun afternoon if nothing else is on. But 12 reviews says it all lol.
