Backlash

By Steve Anderson

Somewhere, Andy Sidaris is laughing his ass off.

The man responsible for so many action-packed low-budget tittyfests, such as Dallas Connection and Day of the Warrior, would surely see this sucker coming from a mile away. CIA operative Skye Gold, who looks damn good in a bikini, is off to Trinidad to hide out after busting up a gunrunning outfit. Not surprisingly, everyone else knows where Gold is, much to the haughty amazement of the CIA. Thus, Gold is fighting for her life, surrounded by other hot chicks in bikinis and loads of gunfire.

No one will ever mistake Backlash for serious art. It's bullets, it's babes, it's awesome island scenery, it's unsettlingly inept CIA convinced it can do no wrong. There's nothing new here, and frankly, all the old clichés are pretty threadbare and not all that brilliantly executed. If you're prepared, or even eager for a bout of something familiar, then Backlash is going to be just what you're hungry for.

Everyone else, meanwhile, will be rolling their eyes and hitting their 'eject' buttons long, long, before then.
