Kind of dull for what it wants to be
24 February 2023
A soldier(last name Ransom) that is part of an elite squad gets screwed over by a commanding officer, mid mission, resulting in him being left for dead. Saved by a local village we find they are dealing with Russian(the ultimate enemy) backed Vietkong. Ransom then tries to save the village with the help of the military, who at the command of the captain continue to screw over Ransom and the villagers. Ransom ultimately settles for just going after the Russians on his own. Then the movie ends after what feels like the director forgetting to tie up loose ends.

There really isn't much to this movie. Paper thin plot. Action scenes involve Ransom standing in the open firing away while Vietkong jump and twist to show that they got shot(this movie could not afford any blood squigs.) There is some decent explosions and occasional good stunt work. Ransom constantly yelling things over and over(JAKOTA!!!!!!) will probably get a laugh out of most. There are also a few awesome deaths with fun practical effects but they are few and far between.

In the end it's a mostly boring action movie where half of it is shot of Ransom shooting followed by random Vietkong pretending to be shot. Makes for fine background noise but not much more.
