Mercenary Nick (Dolph Lundgren) is hired to perform what he swears will be his final mission. He assembles a team to go to an island in the Pacific to convince the natives, one way or another, to give up their mining rights. Once there, he finds himself charmed by the wisecracking village headman, Po (B.D. Wong), and attracted to single mom Loki (Charlotte Lewis). Nick decides to turn against his corporate bosses, but others opt to stick with the money, and a pitched battle ensues.

Nick Rogers Midwest Film Journal 01/16/2025
2.5/5
The last 20 minutes of "Men of War" certainly cook in unexpectedly gruesome ways. But getting there is a slog that feels too deferential to the original ideas of John Sayles' initial screenplay without a cast to compensate for that. Go to Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed 12/28/2024
Men of War is a strong action film with a touch of exoticism which doesn’t fully age well. The technical side of things here is excellent and the cast works well together and with the script. Go to Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins 09/14/2020
2/10
Sequences of combat at the finale aren't too shabby, though they're disjointed and random, as if devised without any interest in continuity. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 07/26/2005

William D @Williams0604 12/18/2023 This is an okay film. That should only be watched once. See more 08/07/2020 Basically the OG Avatar. Dolph at his best, 90s action at it's best. Such an underrated film! See more 12/25/2019 Debo and co. switch sides midway through after being bullied for shit. See more 09/23/2014 although lundgren is good in his role, men of war is a badly acted and written, generic action movie, with a story that is horribly constructed and doesn't make a lot of sense and at times can be quite boring, but all that aside I can't help but like it once the fighting, shooting, and exploding starts even though it's extremely illogical See more 07/18/2014 What a terrible title for a lovely film. Think The Beach meets Dogs of war. Well worth the watch! See more 06/19/2014 Fun late night action flick See more Read all reviews
