On a mission deep in the Bolivian jungle, a team of elite commandos finds itself on the receiving end of a lethal betrayal. Now presumed dead, the men join forces with a mysterious operative named Aisha to hunt down their enemy and even the score.
A mixed-to-negative reception greeted this comic-book action film, with most critics finding it too self-satisfied to be genuinely fun. The cast and lighter comedic moments earn some goodwill, but the dominant complaint is that the film mistakes attitude for personality — cool posturing in place of actual wit or character.

“style for its own sake”

“it was all done far better in Walter Hill's Extreme Prejudice”
