Mercenary

John Ritter adds his style to this movie but he is not his quintessential style in this. I liked the action, and it is really well done, but unlike some reviewer comments, I did not find it boring or predictable. I am a movie buff and have seen hundreds of action, western, and adventure movies and this one was a bit different so how you view it depends on what you are expecting of it. Ritter is somewhat comic but is much more action-oriented which I think may throw the viewer but it added to my thrill. I recommend the movie for the heavy action, thrills, and the male bonding that occurs in the film.

"Mercenary" has crap acting, totally unstylish action scenes, is so boring it is almost unwatchable, the dialogue is terrible and the actors are completely miscast. All in all one of the worst movies ever made. DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This yarn was supposed to take place in Moab, Jordan (erroneously mentioned as Moab, Israel but hey, that is par for the course for this flick !) . I have been to Jordan but never seen scenery like that ! And Russians living in "ancient" monasteries , crawling all over the Jordanian countryside in buggies and firing un-countable bullets AND at least 3 surface to air missiles ? Pull the other one !! I don't know whether the handful of "producers" got their investment back or not, but WHY waste money on a useless plot and a hopeless video film in the first place ??

Its entertaining. Not as bad as others have stated to me.

Headache inducing with only three actual actors, John Ritter, Robert Culp, and Ed Lauter, who are all terribly wasted. The pace is so rushed that it could give you whiplash. The action scenes are filmed in extreme closeup to hide the lack of a budget. Explosions abound and of course the entire plot is ridiculous. This is one to avoid, I only wish I had done so, instead of wasting over an hour, before I couldn't take any more. You have been warned. Proceed at your own peril, unless mindless nonsense is something you enjoy. I actually feel bad having watched this, and hope you will take my advice ................... - MERK
