HIRED TO KILL 1986 (TUBI)

By no means an original film, but it was fun to watch.

Brian Thompson stars as Frank Ryan, a soldier of fortune who is called on for a very interesting job.

It seems a small Central American country is being overthrown and the USA has decided to stop it. Ryan is told he is to adopt the persona of an American fashion photographer and hire seven women to pose as models to take with him.

These women are to come from all over the world and be trained in the art of killing. This story is simply a rehash of such films as "Magnificent Seven", "Seven" and Roger Corman's "Secret Invasion". This is not to say the film doesn't have merit.

It moves along at a great pace and is fun to watch. The rest of the cast for this shot in Greece film includes Oliver Reed, George Kennedy and Jose Ferrer.

Some of the location work is simply beautiful and it was nice to see Thompson is a rare leading role. I can recommend this for action fans who are not too pickey in what they watch.
