I bought this movie for a quid at a cheap book shop a year or so ago, purely because of Feldman as his other films from the 80's were glorious- and I was utterly shocked at just how good this film was.
Something about it made it a step beyond the other appaulingly low budgeted redneck thrillers. There was no pretence of horror or anything along those lines- it was all very easy to follow, and the setting was well chosen as in any other place it would've failed to impress so much of an image. Must be all those trees.
Anyway, since when has there ever been another film about scouts, lead by Feldman, saving the day? Or for that matter- any film about scouts.
The plots all tied together nicely, and him-off-Scrubs seems to be permanently, well type-cast as 'the mean guy who it goes wrong for every darn time'.
The one thing I'd change, is the dodgy yet mysterious- and possibly English- guy-in-shades, who's hired by the bad guys to rectify the situation and recover their stolen weaponry. It's not always necessary to have some bad-ass cool guy to make a film decent; Feldman filled that role anyway. I found the little boy who got shot more bad ass.
If you can find it anywhere, it's definitely worth a go. You'll be surprised at how good it is.
