Featured review
A pacy, violent thriller set in in the sleazy red light district in the last days of the Saigon fall. A spree of murders involving Vietnamese people draws two cops Morgan (Brent Huff) and Hawk (Max Laurel) from the Army's criminal investigation department into de sleazy backstreets of Saigon and whose responsible may be one of their own top brass. In the final days of the Vietnam War, someone is killing officers, allegedly executed by the elite Cobra Force commanded by Shooman (Robert Marius) . Two undercover M. P.'s are assigned to the case by Colonel Kasler (Werner Pochath) . They whiitle the suspects down to five, but pressure from above squashes the investigation, forcing them to go it alone and helpless. The trail leads from the streets of Saigon to the war zone. Previous key witnesses have been frightened into silence or simply killed off.
Cheap and exploitative movie taking parts here and there of other films. Yet another Vietnam film in which there is a little mystery as to who the killer is in this tale that seems written more the sake of foul language and gratuitous gunfights than actual plot . Director Mattei fulls the film with plot twists and turns , and at times loses his sense of direction but sustaining the suspense and staging the action scenes with certain vigour including some tthrilling car pursuits made in Antonio Marheritti style; the result , although the Saigon set setting is simply a seedily exotic backdrop is frankly mediocre. The films rips off ¨off Limits¨(1987) by Christopher Crowe with Willem Dafoe and Gregory Hines whose similar roles are played by Brent Huff and Max Laurel and following the wake of other Mattei films as ¨Strike Commando¨and "Trappola Diabolica or Strike Commando II". The film features some familiar faces from the 70s and 80s that appeared in a number of Italian B films belonging to all types of genres such as s Macaroni Combat, Spaghetti Western, Poliziezco, Giallo, Vietnam movies such as: Brett Halsey, Romano Puppo, Mike Monty, Massimo Vanni, Werner Pochath, Robert Marius, Roberto Dell'Acqua, Ottaviano Dell'Acqua and Luciano Pigozzi as Alan Collins, the latter nicknamed the Italian Peter Loree
The motion picture in medium budget was uneven but professionally directed by Bruno Mattei , assisted by his usual collaborator Claudio Fragasso who also wrote the script along with his wife Rossella Drudi . Deceased Bruno Mattei often used Vincent Dawn pseudonym, he is referred to in some circles as "The Italian Ed Wood" due to his constant usage of stock footage, soundtrack borrowing, bad acting and silly dialog within his productions. Even though several of his films have achieved cult status and are today are considered humorous due to overacting, unrealistic staging, and general absurdity, Mattei's films were never meant to be intentionally funny. Bruno made a large number of films in all kinds of genres as Vietnam wartime, terror , erotic , nunexploitation , Sword and Sandals , Spaghetti Western, Documentary , Mondo Cinema, Women in Prison or WIP, such as : " Rats" , "Cage Women" , "Seven Magnificent Gladiators" , "Hell of the Living Dead" , "Robowar" , "Scalps" , "Apache Kid" , "Cop Game" , "Terminator 2" , "Emmanuel in Prison" and several others . And some of them shot in Philippines as "Robowar" , "Strike Commando I" , "Strike Commando II" , "Double Target" and "Born to Fight" . Rating : 4.5/10, below average, a very cheesy and silly film. The film will appeal to Italian Vietnam sub-genre aficionados.
