Men of War stars tall, craggy Dolph Lundgren as a down-and-out commando who agrees to do another job because there's nothing else he knows how to do. He assembles a crack team and travels to an isolated Pacific island with orders to secure it for a mysterious business venture. But once there, he discovers an idyllic paradise with peaceful natives who welcome the mercenaries into their village. When Dolph learns what the venture is really about, he decides he's on the wrong side and, with part of his team, fights to defend the island from destruction. The first third of Men of War is drenched in sweaty machismo--the camera constantly lingers over rippling muscles and bruised skin during an endless bar fight. But once on the island, the mercenaries frolic sweetly with native children and the scenery is astoundingly beautiful (and beautifully filmed). A native who speaks English delivers some heavy-handed pacifist speeches. Then, as another team of more ruthless mercenaries arrive, the movie again turns into an ecstasy of gunshots and explosions--only, because of the genuinely charming middle third, there are actually some emotional stakes to the violence. Furthermore, the natives turn out to be not quite as peaceful as they presented themselves, adding some surprising layers to the movie's moral tone (likely due to the hand of co-screenwriter John Sayles, the man responsible for Brother from Another Planet and Lone Star). All in all, better looking and better written than any movie starring Dolph Lundgren has any right to be. --Bret Fetzer

The story: Nick Gunar (Dolph Lundgren, Universal Soldier) is an ex-Special Ops soldier who's agreed to lead a mission to an island in the South China Sea, where he's to strong-arm the natives into signing over the rights of their land to a mining corporation. Accompanied by several of his military comrades - including Tom Wright (Marked for Death), Anthony Denison ("The Closer"), Tim Guinee ("Impostor"), Don Harvey (Casualties of War), Tiny Lister ("Little Nicky"), and Catherine Bell ("J.A.G.") ...

This was a movie I owned on VHS and recently found again on DVD. Most will think "Dolf Lungren? It must be a bad combat film." but it isn't. This is a well thought out story with great characters. BD Wong stars opposite Dolf, and also delivers one of the best performances of his career.
Because it didn't do well in the box office when it first came out, this movie, because of it's star, has been overlooked. It is a great find for movie watchers.

Nick Gunar (Dolph Lundgren) tries to put his mercenary past behind him, but fails because, in the words of his best friend, his heart isn't in anything else. When a pair of unscrupulous yuppies offer him a quick paycheck for what ought to be a walk in the park, the good old days seem to be back. Assembling an elite squad of merc friends, Gunar leads an incursion into a tropical paradise to squeeze the peace-loving natives into signing over the mineral rights to their homeland. But the natives have ... Read More

I just love Thailand!!!
I've been to all the locations the movie was shot at, which gives it that much more appeal and familiarity!
A star gets taken away for the obvious movie mistakes. When will they learn machine guns DO NOT have unlimited rounds, and they are not double action and click multiple times after the rounds have finished.
An M16 expends its 30rd mag in less than 2 secs at full auto - same for the AK-47.
The amount of violence was superb!

Don't have anything bad to say, Dolph Lundgren did himself proud with this one. Great location shots, good directing, good script, good acting and top notch action sequences. Probably the highest production standards a Dolph Lundgren production will ever see again.
