7/10
good B-movie
12 January 2017
Larry McRose (Clancy Brown), Buckman Atwater (William Forsythe), Declan Patrick Coker (Matt Mulhern), Charles Biddle (Larry B. Scott), Luther Fry (Dan Tullis, Jr.), and Major Paul Hackett (Michael Ironside) are officially dead soldiers. They are a part of the secret black ops Zombie Unit led by Hackett. Jack Benteen (Nick Nolte) is a no non-sense Texas Ranger and his school friend Cash Bailey (Powers Boothe) has become a drug lord on the other side of the border. Sarita Cisneros (María Conchita Alonso) is Benteen's latina singer girlfriend. Sheriff Hank Pearson (Rip Torn) is the local cop. Bailey offers Benteen a bribe and Benteen counter-offers for him to walk away from his drug empire.

Director Walter Hill delivers an unabashed hard action B-movie. It's a throwback. Everybody is doing their hard-edged characters. Forsythe has a bit of fun. I like the murky nature of the Zombie Unit. It's a good B-movie delivering an implausible story and good action.
