Kiersty Savage: Rick lost it. He kept blaming himself for everyone's deaths. Saying if we hadn't left the set none of this would have happened. Daddy and Rick had a fight. We never saw him again.

Clever premise for a B action movie

My review was written in April 1990 after watching the movie on City Lights video cassette.

"Contra Conspiracy" combines two different premises with occasionally interesting results, suitable for video action fans.

Pic is structured in flashback as a young girl tells CIA brass of a massacre at a remote movie set in the desert where her filmmaker father and his unit are attacked by mercenaries training nearby for covert U. S. action.

Though obviously overmatched, the film crew fights back using their special effects expertise to even up the odds.

Pic stretches credibility in linking a behind the scenes look at a movie shoot with the gung ho heroics of self-styled Rambo warriors. The heroine also relates several scenes set at the mercenaries' camp which she could not have witnesses.

Acting is okay though end credits are absent, leaving roles unidentified. Finale of CIA ordering a coverup is predictable.
