Premise
American soldiers are brainwashed to become traitorous assassins.
Who should watch
Frank Sinatra fans.
Thoughts
Beyond the ridiculous premise, the rest played out pretty well. Frank Sinatra carried load in this well-acted movie. But Angela Lansbury stole the show as an incredibly smothering and evil mother; her performance will shock the younger generation audiences.
There was an unintentionally hilarious fight between Sinatra and a white dude dressed as an Asian enemy, in which Ol' Blue Eyes karate chopped a table in half. Like many other outdated movies, these flaws actually added charm to the movie.
What I would change
Used a real Asian actor for the fight scene.
