Warning: Spoilers
Jake (Steven "Bradley Cooper is a sissy" Seagal) is a sniper who is part of group who is tasked to rescue an anti-war congressman (John Henry Richardson) from the Taliban. Rescue of congressman- good, his security team- not so good. The group gets separated. Jake is left behind with an injured man and some dead soldiers as another group lead by Vic (Tim Abell) gets away. The story divides into a plot and subplot. The plot consists back inside the fence Vic trying to avoid a jinx NATO reporter (Charlene Amoia) who is also the admiral's niece. Seagal is the subplot who basically sits and looks out a window, occasionally reading a line in monotone.

This is the part of the army that doesn't have to wear helmets in a war zone and can disregard regulations on grooming. Tim Abell is the star of the film, as Seagal had a smaller role, if not minor as compared to the overall plot. The dialogue consisted of cliche lines when good. The plot flew by the seat of its pants, with much of the film being consumed with bad dialogue attempting to make a believable tale. Okay, I lied, at no time did they attempt to make this a believable tale. The ending was unorthodox and idiotic to say the least. And the "Van Dam" in the film is Pro Wrestle Rob Van Dam, who can't deliver a line outside of the ring.

It was one of those films so awful you sit with your mouth open watching it. Who gave Fred Olen Ray permission to write a serious film? May have camp value.

Guide: 1 well spoken F-word. No sex or nudity. Partial view of Charlene Amoia' s bra.
