Nice action movie including thrills , chills , high body-count and spectacular fights . A team of air force soldiers (Tom Skerritt, Robert Wightman, John Considine, among others) , including a female (Lisa Eichhorn) for the first time, carry out a training assignment . Their mission is to avoid being captured by the 'enemy' . They parachute onto an island in the Philippines, only to find that the commandant will stop at nothing to try and break his trainees. The group parachutes onto a remote island, where their objective is to reach the safety zone before the "opposing force" captures them . Everything does not go as expected, and the training mission turns into the real thing. But things go wrong when the commandant (Anthony Zerbe) of an air force camp simulates prisoner-of-war conditions for realist training , but he goes too far , creating too real torture situations . He preys on the only female in the experiment , submitting her to strong humiliation.
A decent film with thrills , chills , violence , nudism , tortures and lots of action. Adventure and action movie shot in Philippines Islands with colorful cinematography by Michael Jones and thrilling musical score by Marc Donahue composed in the Eighties style by means of synthesizer . Concerning a group of military personnel who have signed up for the air force's elite Reconnassaince/Escape program resulting in fateful consequences when the commanding officer goes insane . In spite of its violence , and adding some wholly as well as corny moments , in this an acceptable yarn there are some impressive combats and rousing confrontations . Main cast are pretty well , such as Tom Skerritt, Lisa Eichhorn , along with secondaries as Anthony Zerbe who gives the best acting as ruthless , brutal villain commandant at the hell camp , Richard Roundtree , Robert Wightman, John Considine and George Cheung.
Directed with flair-play enough by Eric Karson , an expert on thrillers and action movies . His debut theatrical feature film was in 1980 with "The Octagon" stars Chuck Norris and Black Eagle (1988) with Jean Claude Van Damme and Sho Kosugi . Subsequently, he directed "Opposing Force (1986) " and "Angel Town" . Equally , he produced "Nemesis" and "Lionheart" with Van Damme in one of his best vehicles . Action addicts will give this one a passing grade , all others need not apply . If you're a Tom Skerritt fan , you'll appeal this movie , that's why it contains action enough and violence for enthusiastic of war movies.
