This low-budget action film from genre specialist David A. Prior stars Lynda Aldon as Rachael McKenna, the sexy blonde leader of a group of female prisoners hired by the CIA to bring down renegade agent John Mickland (William Zipp). The film presents itself as a distaff variation on The Dirty Dozen, as tough Sgt. Roberts (cult favorite Edy Williams) trains the convicts for jungle warfare in Colombia, but it cannot come close to its model in either excitement or spectacle. Peopled with a cast of former television actors including Edd Byrnes and Gail Fisher, Mankillers is the sort of film insomniacs might choose as an alternative to medication, but it offers little chance of success. Filmmaker Lizzie Borden appears as a drug smuggler. ~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide

In this deflated action-thriller, McKenna (Fritz Matthews) is a Vietnam vet taking part in a training camp run by a sadistic Colonel Crawford (David James Campbell) when McKenna loses it and goes berserk. He is forced to undergo "interrogation" by his Asian-American "captors" which sets off a psychotic break that makes him think he is back in Vietnam. He escapes, killing other Asian-American soldiers as he goes, and the rest of the slash, stab, shoot, and otherwise horribly overkill story involves McKenna's pursuers being knocked off until he and the Colonel go at it face-to-face. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
