Review

Jason Caro

The title gives you some idea of the level of sophistication of this instantly forgettable vehicle for Damon Wayans. He plays an aggressive marine given the job of knocking the useless new junior recruits into shape at a military academy. Although no one can accuse Wayans of not giving the role his all (he's an even nastier version of Louis Gossett Jr in An Officer and a Gentleman), watching him spout abuse at a bunch of misfits is not great entertainment. Some occasionally funny dialogue and the star's enthusiastic sadism keep it just about watchable.
