Four Naval air Pilots are given rogue orders from Mario Van Peebles to destroy a specific site inside Iraq. As it turns out they kill an American. In an bad plot point, the pilots are forced to resign. Their target, "Rainmaker" was a WMD owned by Iraq, and is now in the hands of the Kurds. The film isn't much into mystery or twists. Butch (Cam Gigandet) is eventually recruited by the prosecutor (Bill Pullman) and Double agent Van Peebles to destroy the WMD, now in Iran and in the hand of the Kurds who intend to use it against Iran's oil field. Tom Craig (Shane West) also a pilot who got drummed out of the service, works on the dark side and left his girl friend ( Rachael Leigh Cook) to Butch.
The film didn't require much thinking. Rachael Leigh Cook is in Russia one minute, Nevada the next, and then back to Russia. The character build up was weak. The plot needed polish and some suspense . The actors were as convincing in their roles as were the CG effects. The film does have some "Top Gun" type action in it, but Cam Gigandet is no Tom Cruise.
Okay as a Redbox, 50 cents off second rental.
Parental Guide: No f-bombs. 1 love scene with back nudity. Men in "crack" underwear. Scantily clad ladies dancing on tables. Mariya Guzeeva bra/panties.
