Rugged mercenaries, earnest revolutionaries, CIA skullduggery, and brutal third-world dictators are the over-familiar ingredients warmed over in this explosive stew. The original touch is pairing Peter (ROBOCOP) Weller and Robert (AIRPLANE!) Hays as the leading he-men. It doesn't work.
Leading a ragged fighting force in a would-be coup against Bosavi (Dom Magwili), dictator of fictional Tengara, Sam French (Hays) gets no further than a beach landing before his forces are cut to shreds. The dictator's defenders turn out to be led by French's ex-partner Jake Wyer (Weller), who
captures French and offers him a cushy security job in the corrupt third-world nation....
