Hey ho... It's a so-so movie with a by-the-numbers script. Why on earth would you want to watch it?
If that's a question, my answer is - No idea!
It's not bad as in the worst movie ever made, but it has no aspirations to be particularly good and it's definitely not original.
The most bewildering aspect - and this applies to many, many, many movies - is how the heck did the writer/director persuade anyone to put up the money for it?? To be honest, at the end of the day it literally has 110% more cliches than this sentence! And I'm not even joking!
The writer/director/producer can't have seen any 'action' movies in their life, if they think this has any merit.
It's ok, if you like this sort of thing but in the greater movie universe, it should never have been made.

First of all,this is clearly a low budget B movie. U should know it the moment u saw Roger Corman's name in the title. Even the film makers knew it and they didn't set out to make a high budget and critically acclaimed action movie. They wanted to make an enjoyable action movie on a very modest budget and i think they succeeded at that. The movie was fast and nice to follow from the start and it works mainly because of the lead actor Mark Dacascos. Mark Dacascos have been around for years now and although he have never achieved a star status or made many acclaimed movie,he still gives his full effort to a movie. In this movie,he seemed so committed to his role and did a great job in the action scenes and his acting was solid enough for the material he is given. At his age,he is still very fast and agile and looked way younger than he really is. The movie does have a lot of flaws and certain scenes felt so rushed but if u get past those and only expect a simple action flick to past your time,this would be a very good viewing.

After nearly 4 decades as a US Marine, I find that the BG with his long hair highly implausible. And I've served under many Flag Officers, both Marine and Navy, and none of them came remotely close to that which Treat Williams appears as BG Hank Wallace. Is it too much to demand that actors get a realistic haircut!! Will it harm them?? Hollywood should begin looking for ACCURACY instead of the typical BS 'glamor' for which it erroneously believes that Americans are searching. GOD BLESS TRUE AMERICAN WARRIORS OF EVERY BRANCH!! And looking forward to the "Wizards of Tinsel Town" to become enlightened.
Christopher M. Elassad captures the attention of Hollywood as the new lovable hero tough guy, Sgt. McCray, along side the beautiful and athletic Sofia Pernas, martial arts expert Mark Decascos, the versatility of actor Treat Williams, and the engaging Joe Suba, to deliver action packed sequences with fast paced editing. Shot on location in the Philippines with solid photography and a realistic terrorist plot. Chris Elassad's natural talent as an actor and strong physique are a perfect match for his role in Operation Rogue. A quick glance at Elassad's credits will show his vast experience behind the camera gives him a distinct advantage as a new presence of Screen Actors Guild artists. Bravo!!!
