Premise

Terrorists capture a member of a US military unit deployed in the Middle East and offer him the opportunity to take revenge against his superiors.

Reception

"This low -budget video premiere is pretty much the standard bang-bang boom-boom American commandos vs. Arab terrorists", wrote Mayo and Olenski, although they praised the commentary track by the director on the DVD version. [2]

Clive Davies was extremely critical of the film and found it used footage from Navy Seals, Delta Force, Invasion USA and Red Heat. [3]

The Croatian website MojTV wrote: "Non-stop action and spectacular confrontations are the hallmarks of any action film, and Rangers [...] uses a combination of pure action with elements of spy thrillers, most notably in the character of the resourceful senator, embodied by well-known television personality Corbin Bernsen (L.A Law). The rest of the cast is led by reliable action actors Glenn Plummer and Matt McCoy." [4]
