Frank Stallone-fans beware!, 17 July 2004

*MAY HAVE SPOILERS* (but who cares, this movie isn't special)
This movie is sort of weird, the first part is very confusing, with a
bunch of ninjas (who we never see again) raiding a house and killing
everyone in it, then Frank Stallone comes along, acting all evil and
stuff, and then a kid who's running under a bridge gets stopped by some
guy stating he's a cop, who then grabs a bag of drugs from the kid, and
says he'll get a lot of cash for it, then the kid asks: "What kind of a
cop are you?" to which he replies: "A BAD ONE!" and shoots the kid.
*highlight of the movie*
Then we see some mountain-rangers and a couple of scouts who smalltalk
in the woods, and then one of the scouts find a crashed plane with a
suspicious looking suitcase inside it (and some dead professor-guy who
ran off with some secret discs or something), then Stallone send off a
bunch of bad guys to retrieve the discs, but the scout has hidden them
in a tree, and then one of the rangers arrive to save the day, knocking
off all the bad guys one by one, until there's only Stallone left, who
then kills himself before the FBI can get a hold of him, (or maybe it
was because he only got 5-10 minutes of on-screen time in the movie)
Frank Stallone got first billing as Quill, the bad guy, but is only in
the movie in the beginning and shortly at the end! it was a total
cheat!
William Zipp who also wrote the script and did a lot of other stuff
played Billings, the guy from the wilderness who's also an Vietnam-vet
with three Purple Hearts and all sorts of stuff (someone also referred
to him as being like "Rambo", and he answered: "WHO??" -which I thought
was a bit fun, since the "cheaper" Stallone-brother was in it). Zipp
was a convincing reluctant hero, his looks kind of reminded me of
Christoper MacDonald (the asshole husband in Thelma & Louise), and his
attitude was a bit like Chuck Norris (Missing in Action)
Jill Foors looked good as Monica, maybe a bit too good to be working
far out in the woods at some wooden hut selling stuff to the hunters.
Perry Hill played the other guy from the wilderness, Freddie, who's
Billings best friend and only companion in the woods (I never really
understood what they were doing out there, but they had apparently been
out there a LOOONG time, and they weren't too interested in the hot
Monica-chick, if you know what I'm insinuating, *nudge-nudge*)
Casey Hirsch played Greg the boyscout who apparently was out there to
get his "Survival-mark" or something like that, and he sure got what he
came for!
David Roger Harris played the first henchman-leader Leo, who did OK,
not too good, and not too bad, enough said.
David Marriott as Jack LaRouse, the new bad guy-leader was great to
watch though, with his arrogance and superiority, I really was looking
forward to him getting his in the end, he was annoying! And evil too.
All in all, a decent flick, not too gory, so you could watch it with
smaller kids too if they're not old enough to see the real "Rambo" in
action..
My rating: 7/10, because it was somewhat entertaining, and didn't bore
me at all, like other films of the ilk tend to do sometimes.
