'Lima: Breaking The Silence' (1999) - Menahem Golan.

Action/Exploitation mogul Menahem Golan's deliciously trashy, true story warping, squib-sodden, bog-rotten, Historically invalid, politically pallid retelling of the dramatic siege at the Japanese Embassy in '97, wherein heavily armed Peruvian Rebels held over a hundred high ranking diplomats and their families hostage in a prolonged, desperate attempt to free 400 of their imprisoned, grossly mistreated comrades. The wholly unconvincing text, risible A-Team ballistic buffoonery, and spongy, overcooked cod dramatics might not have universal appeal, and yet, for me, the luridly opportunistic, wildly entertaining misfire, 'Lima: Breaking The Silence'(1999) proved to be a rim-jobbingly jubilant B-Flick, excitingly emboldened with a no less bean-flickingly bodacious cast of B/schlock Titans: Charles Napier!!! Joe Lara!!! Billy Drago!!! Christopher Atkins!!! Richard Lynch!!! and Mitchum!!!, er, Bentley!!! The film's exquisitely Moorish eye candy being provocatively provided by the entirely scrumptious-looking screen siren Julie St. Claire!
