Viewing Notes
Glickenhaus manages to combine the “rescue the viet nam POWs” sub-genre with the “overthrow the banana republic dictatorship” sub-genre for a sloppy but entertaining little action film. Throw in some Christopher Walken, Maria Conchita Alonso and my boy Michael Ironside for extra goodness.
