I just moved away from home after college but before I left my mom was convinced that I needed a "guy movie" for my collection (she wants a son-in-law pretty badly). She bought this movie while she was at a Pep Boys, though I don't know why she thought that a movie that could be bought at an auto shop for $3 was worth watching. Anyway, we watched it together and it is hands down the absolute worst movie I have ever seen....but it was one of those it's-so-bad-it's-good movies. My mom and I had tears running down our faces we were laughing so hard. The writing was atrocious, the directing was ridiculous, but best of all were the actors. Frank Zagarino is a combination of stiff delivery, G.I. Joe looks, and the cheesiest grin ever. Joe Lara = ponytail... 'nuf said. I felt horrible for Kimberley Kates having to run for god knows how many takes in a sheer blouse without a bra (ouch!). I honestly felt that the best actor in this whole trainwreck of a movie was the Captain.

In any case, don't waste your time unless incredibly bad movies tickle your funny bone. I think I might give 'Warhead' to my mom for her birthday, but I'm pretty sure 'Armstrong' will remain our favorite.

This movie is so bad that it does not deserve my time to even get into details but if some of you get a kick out of reading reviews of awful movies, you can enjoy some of the reviews by other unfortunate people who have seen this movie for one reason or another. All I can say is that the actors are a complete joke, the budget of the movie is not more than $1,000 and whoever directed this movie made a desperate attempt at creating a "plot" which after seeing 5 minutes of would make any decent director collapse from laughter. Bottom line is, unless you are on the verge of suicide and have nothing else better to do, avoid this movie at all costs.

I was shocked by the paucity and the negativity of the reviews of this film.Granted, Frank Zagammo is no Sean Connery or Matt Damon, but his performance is no worse than a dozen others in this bang, bang, and run era. Moreover, the movie does have a plot: the theft of Russian Nuclear weapons circa 1999. Is that very far fetched? Kates has a thankless role, doing her best to survive alone in a foreign land after her man goes down unexpectedly early on. I'd certainly want her and Zagammo on my side in case of trouble, as the conclusion surely shows. This is not a 5 star apecial, but it does entertain for 100 minutes, unlike many 1 star stinkers.

This movie is a joke. Writing is horrible, directing is horrible, acting is the pits. Any questions?

What a joy to watch. Joe Lara as Ponytail gave an outstanding performance as the sinister, yet humorous villain.Was on his side the whole time. I was saddened by his 'death'.Frank Zagorino on the other hand was his usual bland, stiff line spitter.
