criticism
“When you've seen one drug war thriller too much; one movie too many, with a few heroes taking on hundreds of villains; one too many chase on Hollywood Boulevard; and one movie too many where a hero is tirelessly tortured by sadistic crooks, and where everything comes down to a big bloodbath in the end - then you know what to expect from Commando Squad . And that's exactly what the film is: one too many. "
"Extremely brutal crime film with scenes of torture and violence played out with relish, which leaves the two positive heroes with a mountain of corpses."
