Sinossi
Il capitano dei marine Shane "Scarecrow" Schofield è assegnato alla scorta del neoeletto presidente degli Stati Uniti durante la sua visita all'Area 7, una base militare supersegreta nel deserto dello Utah. Quella che doveva essere una missione di routine si trasforma però ben presto in un incubo per Scarecrow e i suoi commilitoni. Caesar Russell, un ex comandante dell'aeronautica accusato di alto tradimento, sa che nel cuore del Presidente è stato installato un microchip che trasmette segnali a un satellite: l'arresto del cuore causerebbe un'interruzione della trasmissione e attiverebbe le testate nucleari collocate negli aeroporti più importanti degli Stati Uniti.

Let me salute the first flop of the year, quite a big one! There are 500 pages(if you ask me, at least 450 of them being surplus...) of incessant fights involving our hero and all sort of rascals, including cannibals, ugly reptiles, bears and other horrible creatures. Rambo is a Sunday school-girl co Leggi tutto
Hard to review because 1) it was a ton of fun to read, but 2) ultimately disappointing at just HOW freekin unbelievable the story was. I mean if this were taking place in the year 2200 and every character had bionic abilities or something, but there is NO way the action sequences are plausible. If n Leggi tutto
