Weekend War

About This Movie

Weekend War is an interesting entry from the late '80s, blending action and adventure with a TV movie feel. The premise revolves around these reservists, or 'weekend warriors', heading to Honduras, which sets a somewhat tense backdrop. The whole vibe feels a bit exploratory, especially as Captain John Deason begins to grapple with the moral implications of their mission. It's not just about building a runway; there’s this underlying question of purpose and loyalty. The performances are solid, particularly in how they convey camaraderie amidst the chaos. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to that almost documentary-like feel. A lot of practical effects give it a gritty authenticity, which is refreshing for the time.
