Featured review
A Fun Buddy Flick
Plot: Two bickering mercenaries are hired by the CIA to overthrow a South East Asian dictator.
This film was very surprising to me, I'm not the biggest fan of either actors, but they both have great chemistry with each other. The supporting cast also does a good job playing their roles well. I was very surprised by the action that was in the film considering it was low budget for that time.
This is what buddy films should be like, have a good sense of humor with your characters, make us like them, have a plot that's interesting in order to engage your audience. Give this a chance if you can find it, you won't regret it.
