JUST ANOTHER MEN’S CLUB
Every time I watch this film, it feels like I have seen it before. Dolph Lundgren plays Nick, a mercenary in retirement. He is lured out of retirement to do one last job…get a crew, go to a topical island paradise and convince the local natives to sign a mining contract…or else. Along the way they run into some other bad guys. Got the plot figured out yet? It is overly predictable and this is perhaps the formula for a man’s “chick flick.”

BD Wong plays Po, one of the island natives with speaking lines. He provides us with the little bit of the predictable humor in the film. Charlotte Lewis as Loki, provides us with the token island nudity. Catherine Bell plays an under used butch character. Tommy ‘Tiny’ Lister, who has gone on to better things also stars as one of the mercenaries and provides conflict within the group.

As a 90’s feel good man’s film this one rates up there. But by today’s standards it doesn’t measure up to an action film. There is no CG fighting. There is no swagger music with slo-mo walking. There are no names popping up by characters giving us their bio. There are no inexpiable flashback scenes. If you can live without that and don’t want to think too hard, this is a relatively easy going action film.
