7/10
Mean nasty and ugly. If you want a dark exploitation film and don't mind showering after ward this is for you

Warning: Spoilers
Ex-mercenary living in the Middle East or Balkans is harassed by the local police who don't like his profession. It also doesn't help that the police chief has eyes for his girl. Trying his best to stay out of trouble things turn ugly when the mercenary's old buddies show up wanting him to fly drugs for his operation. He refuses and he not only ends up beaten and left for dead his girlfriend is raped to death by the pack of them. He of course looks to take revenge. Mean nasty ugly little film that is good if very unpleasant in tone. The villains are BAD guys and the abuse he receives by the police is really uncalled for. The weird thing about the film is that in its way it's a Christian film, with our lead character looking to god for help and redemption. I liked the film in its own way. It's a dark little exploitation film that was never the sort of thing that ever would have been made in America. Those looking for that sort of thing are directed to this film, though I think you may want to shower afterward. Between 7 and 8 out of 10
