a5c7b9f00b Two former U.S. Army soldiers, Adam Dyer and Josh Corey, join a band of Turkish mercenaries in 1922 Turkey. They are hired by Osman Bey, a local governor, to escort his three daughters to Smyran and to protect a gold shipment that is to accompany them. Nobody is aware that Elci, a local colonel, plans to steal the gold for himself, while a rebel general pursues all parties involved. During the 1922 Turkish Civil War, two Americans and a group of foreign mercenaries offer their services to a local Turkish governor who hires them as guards for a secret transport. Well, what can I say. "Soldiers of Fortune" is definitely the worst movie I've ever seen.<br/><br/>Let's start at the beginning: A guy who supposedly was on a raft for a long time is finally rescued by Bronson. The man has horribly ripped pants and a shirt that is in ok condition, but the clincher is that he has no beard at all. Not even any stubble. And his hair wasn't shaggy or dirty. These seemingly minor details say an awful lot about how poorly made this movie was.<br/><br/>Later on Bronson and the other guy are in a bar and a bunch of armed soldiers burst in and start asking questions. A brawl begins. Not a single shot is fired by the soldiers. Bronson's men beat everyone up. As they leave for their ship, the soldiers exit the bar and start shooting AFTER the fight is over and many people have been beat up.<br/><br/>Later on Bronson is talking to the Sultan of Turkey about working for him. Whenever the sultan talks, his face is in the very corner of the screen and you can only occasionally see his whole face. Also, a microphone is extremely obvious just off-center.<br/><br/>Besides these details, the movie is extremely repetitive. I have no idea how many scenes contained Bronson and his men riding horses, camels, donkeys, etc.<br/><br/>Here's a rough depiction of a quote from the movie: Bronson hands the other guy a gun "This good charity is going to be the death of me." The other guy says "Better you than me." Bronson replies "I don't kill easy."<br/><br/>That quote just says it all. Something about it doesn't flow. I can understand what they're saying, but it doesn't sound like an English conversation.<br/><br/>These are just a few of the limitless things that make this movie so horrible. If you don't believe me that it sucks this bad, rent it for yourself. If you enjoy watching movies that are so bad that they are funny, this one is a must-see. The only movie I can think of that is even close to as bad as this one is Chuck Norris' "The Octagon". Another reviewer has called this "better than it had to be", which I think is right on the money. This is not a history lesson, nor is Shakespeare, but it uses an obscure period of history to tell an adventure story without insulting anyone's intelligence.<br/><br/>It is a remake of "Vera Cruz", the 1952 Western with Gary Cooper and Burt Lancaster. Except Curtis' character is much wittier than Cooper's, and Bronson's character is not a psychopath. Both changes make it easier to watch, although not as dramatic. Both movies have anachronisms, but I think many of the anachronisms in "You can't Win 'em All" are sardonically recognized.<br/><br/>There are easy parallels between the chaos of 1867 Mexico and 1922 Turkey. In both there were uncertain loyalties at the end of an Imperial rule and a major conflict had ended nearby, leaving a pool of unemployed killers. In both a nationalistic regime replaced the Old Order, and neither Juarez nor Attaturk were choirboys. But the movie is neither history lesson nor moral polemic, just a cheerful adventure story.
This is an amazing movie that I have been cannabidiol for nausea waiting for so long. I really love all the songs from this movie so that it is easy for me to download whatever songs are needed. It is really very simple to download it as well.
