The man with no name Premise reminds me a lot of Walking Tall with the Rock, or maybe a more accepted version of Rambo first blood. It is certainly reminiscent of the man with no names with Clint. The story is one we've seen before, but this has some excellent casting of at least the main protagonists, even though the antagonists are very bland. The backstory don't get fully flushed out. And while the action is satisfying, it is not enough to make this something great.

I'm very conflicted about this film. 2 Herzog turns at the end? The multi-side-step Herzog turn is quite the feat of coordination. Is the fade the proper way to deal with an end credit walk off or is it just the OLD ASS BITCH way out? I walk off screen better than this guy. But he's pretty cool. Definitely has more military friends than me. It feels like the Egg Man lady's acting coach was involved. Vivian's introduction and method as a slave to the druglord masters is engaging. Her final scene...kinda heart wrenching. The Power Ranger mugs almost every scene. Everyone gets to mug. The fight scene in the factory is wonderful. MMPR does cool moves. Hard to sell the old man in that fight. Dude looks VERY old and tired in a few scenes but has some good days. Surprising to see no babies killed in this.

*spoilers* You sometimes have movies that are a bit predictable. At some point you can tell how the movie will end. If you've ever seen any episode of the A-Team, you recognize the plot here and can predict pretty much everything. A small town, where the town folk are bullied by a wealthy man with his goons. Hundreds of bullets fired, no one hit (except for the one shot that matters from the protagonist). The one thing that was really missing was where the A-Team would enter a shed filled with empty paint cans and a welding machine and come out with an improvised tank. In Hellfire, however, people do get killed. Other than that, it's just a long A-Team episode. Without Face, Murdock, B.A. and Hannibal :'-(
