Above average B war picture

My review was written in June 1989 after watching the movie on South Gate Entertainment video cassette.

"Violent Zone" is an above-average war picture, focusing on some clever twists and turns in a 40-years-later plotline. It's a direct-to-video U. S. release for new South Gate banner John Jay Douglas, who resembles Alan Hale Jr., plays a vet summoned by rich guy Christopher Weeks for a special mission 43 years after he fought the Japanese on Kao Teng Island. Pic follows he routine caper format of rounding up the team and training them to go in to rescue Weeks' son from a commie prison camp he's been imprisoned in since 1974.

Twist is that the group never leaves their base island, caught in a battle for survival against an unseen enemy. Is it the Japanese or the CIA? Several climactic revelations come as surprises in John Bushelman and David Pritchard's script.

John Garwood directs efficiently on Philippine locations.
