Saw this in 1987 It Is a Rip Off of "Without Warning"

Rating: 6/10 (29 September 2017)

This is 1987 film is beloved by many people. I for one am not a huge fan of it. This film was just a bigger budget version of the 1980 film "Without Warning".
A spacecraft flies near Earth and releases a bright object which enters the atmosphere. In the Val Verde jungle, Major Alan "Dutch" Schaefer and his team — medic Mac Elliot, tracker Billy Sole, gunner Blain Cooper, explosives expert Jorge "Poncho" Ramírez, and radio operator Rick Hawkins —are tasked by the CIA with rescuing an official held hostage by insurgents. CIA agent, liaison and former US Army Colonel George Dillon, a former commando and an old friend of Dutch, is assigned to supervise the team despite Dutch's reservations.
The team discovers the wreckage of a chopper and three skinned corpses, whom Dutch identifies as members of a U.S. Army Special Forces unit he knew personally. They reach the insurgent camp and kill the soldiers, including a Soviet intelligence officer searching through secret CIA documents. Confronted by Dutch, Dillon admits the mission was a setup to retrieve intelligence from captured operatives and that the dead unit disappeared weeks earlier in a failed rescue. After capturing a guerrilla named Anna, the group proceeds to extraction, unaware that they are being tracked with thermal imaging by an unseen observer.
The film is not bad but it is not as great as some people think. Had these same people now would watch "Without Warning" then they might re-think their review!
