Tom Berenger leads a group of mercenaries with questionable motives, on a search and destroy mission. Only problem is that this is not played out in some South American jungle, but in a Miami high school. This movie is about as much fun as a basket of dead bunnies. It is also so ridiculous that I have seen cartoons with more meaning. It's got an anti drug message all mixed up with Beringer's team looting the drug money to ( are you ready for this?) buy the underprivileged high school students electronic equipment and books. This is the point where I should have hit the stop eject button, but no I hung around for the final showdown where the high school is blown to smithereens. This is a movie to avoid, even for Tom Berenger fans. - MERK
