Well, I guess someone needs to step up and review this thing and I'll start by saying the plot summary posted above, while more or less true, is somewhat misleading. For one thing, no one seems to use their "wits" about anything and, for all you know, no one has any wits in the first place because there are TV commercials with better character development than what you see on display in this mess. It starts out with a wounded girl being carried back to "camp", but they don't show her getting wounded and they don't really explain how she got wounded. It's a just a leg wound, and she isn't bleeding heavily, but she lays there like she's paralyzed for the entire flick for no good reason, while this creepy vet makes sexual advances on her. Then, some other guy gets killed, but they don't bother to show that happening, either. And then another one gets killed and injured, and they don't really show that and then another one gets injured, and they don't show much of that. There isn't really a battle of wits or even a cat and mouse game--the good guys just wander around like idiots, unarmed, getting picked off one at a time until the one guy who has a handgun starts screaming and yelling like a moron and is promptly shot in the back within seconds. The ending is a total bummer, but I won't give it away.

So, unless you are partially brain dead, a couple questions might come to mind as you watch it. Why would a bunch of kids training for a paintball competition need a bunch of grown Vietnam vets (in uniforms, no less!) to train them and why would the vets even care enough to do it in the first place? Why would they be able to just waltz into this hot spot full of criminals (that just happens to have a cabin they can use), if the government is aware of the problem and even has agents actively pursuing the crooks? Wouldn't they have blocked off the area? And why wouldn't they have more than one radio that can transmit? Because the guy says they are "expensive"? Seriously?!?!?

The only thing I can think of that would cause a movie to roll out the way this one does is if they lost some of the footage or just couldn't afford to keep filming and decided to release it as-is. Any way you slice it, the flick would be B-movie crap, but there are some critical scenes missing that would have made the film make a lot more sense and, as I mentioned, character development is just about nil. The dialogue is atrocious and is made more so by the all-around lack of acting ability of every single character. This movie is really bad, make no mistake, but I give it two stars because I delight in watching awful action flicks, but this one really goes over the top. It isn't so bad it's good--it's like a wreck where you can't look away and, if you don't have a thing for bad movies, you'll absolutely hate it. It's a righteous stinker and you've been warned!
