Johnny's comments:

Hired To Kill is a 1990 action thriller where Night Slasher from Cobra (Brian Thompson) is tasked by George Kennedy to gather a group of female warriors to infiltrate some South American dictatorship and kill a jailed political leader so that America can feel good. Not much more than that plus a whole heap of racism, sexism and homophobia, basically all character traits of Brian Thompson's character.

Having an all girl warrior group smells of another dog shit Andy Sidaris movie and I was all ready to hate, but slowly the movie stopped going down the wrong path and became a more watchable, if mostly predictable, action movie. Thompson even leans into his fake gay fashion designer role and gives Oliver Reed and big ol' smooch and this movie just never looks back. It's silly and utterly predictable, even down to the 'twist' ending (save for a major character copping it quite early in the movie), and the action is not bad. Reed makes a decent villain with his twirly moustache and the girls kick some arse. A not bad B action movie that could've been a lot worse.
