Delta Force and Spetnatz take on the Colombian cartel

This review was written in 1992, when this movie was a new release on home video, and published in a Canadian daily newspaper (remember those?). And yes, I consciously ripped off Joe Bob Briggs in my 'final score' wrap-ups back in those days.

COMRADES IN ARMS (Rated R) - Malo Video: Probably as a favour to some friend, the ever-cool Lance Henriksen (Aliens) takes the cushy sit-down role of CIA honcho Bob Reed in this progressively rotten actioner.

Reed's the man with the plan to send the American Delta Force (led by the overweight Rick Washburne) and the Soviet Red Army Spetnatz (led by the late Lyle Alzado) into Colombia to kick some drug dealer butt. Unfortunately, as Reed, Lance spends most of his part sitting in a big, comfy chair saying real serious stuff like "Somebody's gotta hang for this fiasco!" while his ragtag Rambos ring up the death tally.

The final score: Sixty-four body count with one squishy exploding head; three totalled cars; and so-so direction by J. Christian Ingvordsen (Mob War, Hangmen), who apparently discovered where the lens is on the camera.

Special thanks in the credits are given to the Ontario Film Office, leading me to wonder if Colombia isn't, in fact, some guys backyard in Mississauga.
