I mean who would care for such one dimensional characters like white skinhead (with a ridiculously fake swastika tattoo), tough Latino girl, black "Monster" (that's his nickname !) rapist or Latino macho guy ? The story is not one bit believable.
The violence on streets, street gangs, violence in family – this are all serious problems, but I doubt that any viewer will take this movie seriously. Everything sucks here – story, acting, dialogues, action scenes? The American youth here is nothing, but a bunch of stereotypes. Unfortunately Michael Dudikoff ("American ninja") is no Lee Marvin ("Delta force") and "Soldier boyz" is one bad movie.
This movie is a stupid and cheesy 90's copy of classic "Dirty Dozen". Laughable copy of "Dirty dozen" Reviewed by Maziun Vote: 1/10 Fans of movies like THE DIRTY DOZEN and UNCOMMON VALOR should give this one a look. I like the fact the teens aren't all pretty-faced kids off the streets of Beverly Hills, as would probably be the case if it was made today. The action is violent and bloody, but is needed and works in effectively creating a believable war zone. One interesting element of this movie was watching Dudikoff acting with a cast of younger actors, and knowing his real-life passion for spending time with children, it makes one feel that he really believes in these kids despite the screw-ups they had made in their lives. Despite the unbelievable go-point, the movie's pretty good, and does a good job creating the feeling of a hostile and deadly war area with dire consequences for the people who go there. A group of delinquents are recruited by Michael Dudikoff for a dangerous mission in Vietnam, forming a dirty half dozen (as the film was advertised). I doubt the concept of this movie would work in real life.
