Hired to Kill ★½ 1991 (R)

The granitehewn Thompson plays a male-chauvinist commando grudgingly leading a squad of beautiful mercenary-ettes on an international rescue mission. Not as bad as it sounds (mainly because the ladies aren't complete bimbos), but between senseless plotting, gratuitous catfights, and a love scene indistinguishable from rape, there's plenty to dislike. 91m/C VHS, DVD . Brian Thompson, George Kennedy, Jose Ferrer, Oliver Reed, Penelope Reed, Michelle Moffett, Barbara Lee (Niven) Alexander, Jordanna Capra; D: Nico Mastorakis, Peter Rader; W: Nico Mastorakis.
