Commentaire à la une
This film begins with an FBI agent named "Detective Frank Danials" (Ray Raglin) being sent to Puerto Rico to investigate the theft of approximately $2 billion from the U.S. Treasury by two former Army officers by the names of "General John Parker" (Stacy Keach) and "Harry Sherman" (Kurt Andon). However, the FBI isn't the only party interested in the location of this money as a wealthy and influential criminal figure named "Victoria Warren" (Bo Derek) has also decided to make certain inquiries as well. To that end she sends a man by the name of "Packard Walsh" (Michael Manasseri) to Puerto Rico to gather as much information as he can. Packard, on the other hand, has other ideas and assassinates both General Parker and Harry before either can divulge where they have hidden the money. This results in both Packard and the FBI now directing their efforts at the daughters of General Parker in the expectation that one of them will lead them directly to the money. What none of them count on is the former bodyguard of General Parker named "Dave Kellog" (William Haze) and his assistant "Liana Kincaid" (Margaret Scarborough) remaining loyal to him and subsequently protecting his daughters in spite of everything. Not only that but nobody fully appreciates the capability and resources Victoria has at her disposal either. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film had potential but the acting and direction was totally inadequate for the task at hand. For example, neither Stacy Keach nor Bo Derek were used in accordance with their talents. Additionally, the southern accent used by Michael Manasseri was extremely annoying and never should have even been contemplated. Likewise, the character development-especially on the part of General Parker's daughters-was woefully inadequate as well. Admittedly, there were several attractive actresses like Monica Soares (as "China Sue") along with the aforementioned Bo Derek and Margaret Scarborough to compliment the beautiful tropic scenery. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to salvage what could have been a decent film and I have rated it accordingly. Below average.
