5.0 out of 5 stars A great performance of Olivier Gruner, October 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mercenary [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The performance of Olivier Gruner was an impressive one. There's a compromise with Steven Seagal. "Olivier why are you still playing in the independant video-scene?" Please give me a website of his fanclub or more information to write him personally.

This review is from: Mercenary (DVD)

I bought this movie based on the reviews here on Amazon. I guess it depends on what one wants from one's entertainment. For example, if you LOVED the TV series "The A Team", this movie will probably interest you. Unfortunately, there's no Mr. T saying things like "Shut up, fool!"

Seriously, the plot was paper-thin, the acting was deplorable, the props and special effects were comical. For instance, do you remember the A Team shooting sophisticated automatic weapons at people standing no more than 20 feet away and missing them completely? Do you remember each explosion tossing people 20 feet in the air with no apparent injury? This movie is along those same lines.

I gave it two stars out of pity more than anything else. "Mercenary" is a terrible, cheaply-made B-movie to be avoided.
