A mercenary team is recruited by con-artists to convince the natives to move out and let the mines be plundered however half way through the mercenaries have a change of heart and stay and protect the islanders from the new mercenaries sent to fight the battle. This was indeed quite a surprise back in 1994, Not only did Dolph Lundgren give a decent performance (Although there's always room for improvement) Men Of War is the most energetic and interesting effort to date from Dolph Lundgren. The battle scenes are choreographed with a great eye for detail, the characters are all given personality and the movie satisfies on the visceral level of eye candy. It's no masterpiece but for those looking for a movie that has more texture than most should find this effort satisfying.
