I saw Renegades, starring Nick Moran-the Harry Potter movies, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels; Lee Majors-The Six Million Dollar Man_tv, Clambake; Ian Ogilvy-Death Becomes Her, Wuthering Heights and Louis Mandylor-Rambo: Last Blood, the My Big Fat Greek Wedding movies.
This is a B grade action movie by the Saban studios. They have a tendency of using older actors that you probably haven't seen much of lately. Lee plays a retired Green Beret that goes to meetings with other retired soldiers to talk about their war time experiences and Nick and Ian are two other members of the group. When one of the old timers is killed by a vicious London drug lord, played by Louis, the remaining retirees band together to get vengeance on their fallen comrade. They try to make it look tense and dangerous with the old soldiers taking on the younger drug dealers but it just doesn't look convincing at times-one of the oldsters likes to use a crossbow instead of a gun. There are some cameos; I remember seeing Michael Pare, Tommy Tiny Lister-in one of his last performances-and Danny Trejo and there is even a scene when Danny is asked to join the old soldiers and Danny says, No I'm getting too old for that stuff. It does end with a hint of a sequel-A mysterious man offers the Renegades an other job-but I serious doubt it will happen. But, who knows? Stranger things have happened.
It's rated R for violence, language and drug use and has a running time of 1 hour & 31 minutes.
It's not one that I would buy on DVD. I wouldn't stream it either but if you really want to see it, I'd wait until it comes to regular tv.
