Soldier of Fortune

About This Movie

Soldier of Fortune (1990) dives into a chaotic blend of action and adventure that feels like a love letter to over-the-top 80s war films, even if it’s a bit messy. The pacing is relentless, with Vincent Miles taking on the Soviet military in some truly outrageous sequences. You’ve got dirt bikes, helicopters, and an assortment of gunfire that feels almost cartoonish at times. The practical effects are hit or miss, but they add to that raw, gritty feel, making it almost charming in its execution. The performances are somewhat stilted, but there's a certain enthusiasm behind it all. Not groundbreaking by any means, but if you appreciate those absurd action flicks, this one’s a curious piece of relic from that era.
