"Great, the school gets taken over by terrorists, and I'm still on pots and pans." It's an overused analogy, but 1991's Toy Soldiers is fundamentally an amalgam of Die Hard, The Goonies and Red Dawn, making kids and teenagers the heroes of an adult premise. By no means is this a groundbreaking or awards-worthy production, but it is a terrific popcorn flick that delivers easy-going entertainment, ... read more

Luis is angry because the US government has kidnapped his drug kingpin father Enrique Cali and transported Enrique to the USA to stand trial. The Regis School, in Virginia, is a boarding school where the wealthy dump their delinquent teenagers when they've been kicked out of everywhere else.

"Format: DVD Viewing: 2nd (or 3rd) Thoughts: This movie stands out as one of those movies that played a lot on cable tv when I was a kid and it actually holds up pretty well today.

The story is kind of like Red Dawn, but more like if Red Dawn stayed at the school that got taken over in the beginning. Here Colombian terrorists have taken over a reform school and it's up to a rag tag group of too cool ne'er dowelle"
