Sponge (Danny Glover) and Willburn (Stephen Baldwin) work in a rebel organisation called Green War. They are fighting against an oppressive government that has caused radioactive poisoning of much of the world, in this movie represented by Colonel Asimov (Rutger Hauer), Major Anderson (Daryl Hannah) and their mercenary leader Lobo (Michael Madsen). When Willburn meets a radiation survivor in the ruins, Tuag (Neva Leoni), she has a few surprises for him while Asimov's men start chasing them...Of course the stars' agents weren't born yesterday and know what garbage they are getting their hands on, hence they are likely to request minimal workload for their protégés: shoot 2 days, take the check and say goodbye. Accordingly, Glover gets a role where he just sits in front of computers in a dark office, while Rutger Hauer walks around in a cheap uniform (watch the stripes almost fall off), talking to Daryl Hannah who stands around with a blank expression. Madsen enjoys being Madsen under any circumstances, thus the only one I feel sorry for is Neva Leoni, because she shows talent and a creative performance which is utterly wasted here.

"Stop being so..... sexy", muttered by a clearly crying-on-the-inside Rutger Hauer, is the only good thing about this movie, and mostly because it is so bizarre coupled with the fact that Mr. Hauer just want to be anywhere else, in that moment.The plot twist in the end, renders the whole movie even worse, as the mysterious red girl, is the only remotely interesting part of this movie. Her purpose and story might have moved it to a small 2 stars. Alas, it all just fell flat. Very flat.Writing, direction, editing, and acting are all atrocious. And unfortunately not bad in a fun way. Just plain bad. It seems to think it is a Pandorum, cult sci-fi, but instead it is any Uwe Boll movie, then beyond.Can not be recommended to watch, if you value your time.

Seriously!? How on earth did these actors agree to make this abomination!? I actually stuck with it in the belief that things must get better! I mean Rutger Hauer, Danny Glover, Michael Madson, Daryll Hannah, Steven Baldwin! You look at that cast and think, wow, this has got to be pretty good, I think i'll go down to HMV and buy it. The WORST mistake of my life! Honestly! I will never get back those 2 hours of my life ever again! The plot was non-existent and the acting.. What acting!! This isn't even a 1 Star, it's not even half a star! The writer, screenplay guy and director should be banned from making films for life! There is no reprieve, it just gets worse and worse. My DVD says this film is called 'Death Squad', I think the actors must've forced them to change the title so when people look it up online they can't find anything because they are that embarrassed of this abomination being associated with them0.1/10

After twenty minutes of watching this, I am writing this review. I've yet too see anyone in it that I even care about. I wondered how long the actors in this were unemployed. They all must have been in need of the money.Stephen Baldwin should go back on Celebrity Apprentice, but that show was canceled, wasn't it? Rutger Hauer (how old is he now?) did not fit any commander of anything, except maybe a leftover from the 60s hippie era. Whatever military organization he was in, apparently there isn't any dress codes. His hair is a dead giveaway.It's no wonder on the first page here, you don't see the usual cost of the movie, or any goofs in it. Who, in their right mind, would watch this for any goofs when the whole thing is a goof? The ending? Not sure I'll even make it to that part.
