[edit] Plot

Chris Kody (Seagal) is a mercenary, and has just been freed from prison. However, now that he is out, he must use his weapons to defeat terrorists who have just taken control of a nuclear submarine.

The film has been the subject of much ridicule among moviegoers, as there is one scene that shows toy planes flying. The film also features Seagal uttering such unintentionally comical lines as, "There's some sick shit up in here, alligator," "Where my crew?,"Do your thang" and "Get your white ass outta here."

The Uruguayan government has protested against the film because of its absurd portrayal of the country, with terrorists hiding in the jungle, an unpopular dictator with connections to drug dealers, Mayan monuments and blond-haired peasants with goats. The production is so lousy that many scenes involve obvious Italian texts and words (like "schiuzzo, aperto" - closed, open) that are observed as "it´s all Spanish". The film was really made in Bulgaria. Legal action is being considered.
