Seriously, this is beyond bad. Our "US Army Rangers" (in Africa in the Past!... Really?) start off in quite a predicament being pinned down by a Ukrainian warlord and his band of 'international terrorists'. When he calls for air support, we first see what appear to be Bulgarian MiG-29s taking off. Switch to a cockpit view, and the flyboys are wearing Apache Gunship (read helicopter) type helmets and sights. Switch back to the aircraft bearing down on the bad guys and instead of the MiGs, there's a pair of Sukhoi Frogfoots.

Jesus, could it get worse? Unfortunately, yes.

Those who have attempted to suggest that this is some sort of spoof must have a very high standard to look up to if they think this dreck was deliberately made to look like utter crap.

I would suggest it's merely some demented idiot's idea of an 'action movie'

Not sure you have much to search for here. And it is a shame. Everyone involved seems like good people (there is some behind the scenes stuff at the end of the movie, during the credits) ... but I can't in good conscience say or rate this really high. And I usually am really someone who cuts movies slack ... but again I just can't in this case.

It was dreadful to watch - and while there have been worse production values in other movies ... this does not make the watching experience any better. If you can laugh all the way through it, as someone else obviously did and had a "good time" therefor ... well go for it. But it is likely you won't like what you see here.

SEARCH AND DESTROY is a lamentable action thriller shot in Bulgaria. The main actor is a guy called Dylan Bruce but I've never heard of him either and his acting skills are non-existent. The story sees a former soldier set on one more mission where he tackles with an old foe. Plenty of action here but none of it is remotely realistic, and the whole thing is spoilt by an inappropriately cheesy musical track that plays incessantly throughout. It's almost as if they added some random temporary score and accidentally left it in the release version. The only familiar face is ex-EASTENDER Leslie Grantham appearing shortly before his death.
