In an unnamed South American country rebels led by Carrasco fight against the military government led by the dictator Homoza. There are a lot of casualties in the struggle. It has a meandering story but is ramped up by some fine action sequences. The use of miniatures is outstanding and the action scenes, unlike a lot of today's films, are staged so you can follow what is actually going on.
Lewis Collins as Carrasco is too British to be taken for a Latin American revolutionary and his performance is one note. The acting is enlivened by the great Klaus Kinski as the sinister Silveira and almost as great John Steiner as the cheerful mercenary Smithy. A sort of sequel to Code Name Wild Geese (1984) this is much more entertaining. The skilled cinematography was done by Peter Baumgartner. If you like explosions the movie provides them in abundance.
