Following his father's footsteps, the son of Fred Olen Ray directs a cheap (produced by the infamous Asylum), undemanding, tasteless (the mass massacre of the female captives was totally unnecessary) but energetic action film. It's supposed to be a team effort, but Zoe Bell carries the heaviest load of the action, and she's still a force to be reckoned with. If you're a fan of hers, you might want to give this one a look (Kristanna Loken still looks good also - wish I could say the same for Brigitte Nielsen...). But feel free to fast forward through all of the "conversation" scenes in the middle. ** out of 4.

A weak and boiler plate show that appears made just to showcase some over the hill actresses. Well everyone needs to pay the rent I guess. I did enjoy the gunfire and fight scenes.Only watch if it is free and you have nothing else to do and it's the only show on.

When the president's daughter is kidnapped by a female warlord (Brigitte Nielsen) in a former Soviet republic, a CIA agent (Cynthia Rothrock) decides to send 4 dangerous female criminals to the rescue: Clay (Zoë Bell), Kat (Kristanna Loken), Raven (Vivica A. Fox) and Mei-Lin (Nicole Bilderback). I'm not sure if that is the standard procedure, but it has to work as time is running out...This is an Asylum production, directed by Christopher Ray ('2 Headed Shark Attack'). From these credits, you don't expect too much, but the basic idea works: similar to Stallone's 'Expendables', they take a team of outcasts for a dangerous mission, but this time, it's female. The presence of Nielsen and Rothrock reminds you that a female action hero is nothing new, but a whole team of them guarantees some fun, even if the production value in general is very low - the rare case of a mock-buster that's actually adding something new.

"We're not nice women. We're not going on some fun adventure. We're going to do some very bad things to some very bad people." Ulrika (Nielsen) has just taken the President's daughter captive and is demanding for the US to recognize her as a Head of State or she will kill the daughter. The government has only one option, they must send in a team of mercenaries to rescue her. A team of women is picked and the mayhem begins. There isn't really a whole lot to say about this movie. This is an Expendables with women. That really tells you all you need to know. The dialog is cheesy and the acting isn't that good. The action sequences are OK but generic...like I said another version of Expendables. The movie was entertaining enough and I did stay with it and wasn't too bored but that's about all I have to say. Overall, a female version of The Expendables with roughly the same acting, dialog and plot. I give this a C+.
