Description
A right-wing paranoid fantasy where a Cuban-Russian communist invasion is defeated by child soldiers in Colorado should be a lot more fun than this incoherent slog of a movie. Politics aside, this movie just isn't very good, with interchangable characters and a plot that feels stitched together from boys' adventure magazines and John Bircher rags. How did the man who made Conan the Barbarian make something so... un-fun? Starring Patrick Swayze, C. Thomas Howell, Lea Thompson, Charlie Sheen, Jennifer Grey, Darren Dalton, Ben Johnson, Harry Dean Stanton. and Powers Boothe. Directed by John Milius, screenplay by Kevin Reynolds and John Milius.
