Rent VFW (2019)

Ghosts on Mars meets The Expendables meets Cheers - VFW review by AER

Imagine a John Carpenter-directed feature-length episode of Cheers cast to the brim full of aged character actors who have been a mainstay of big action films (albeit in supporting roles) and you'll have something resembling VFW. If you like Assault on Precinct 13 and Z-grade schlock done well, then this is for you. Director Joe Begos and his imaginatively assembled cast of actors bring the carnage to great effect and it's never less than entertaining. Led by Stephen Lang (Don't Breathe / Avatar), the old-timers find themselves under siege when a girl with a cache of high-value drugs take refuge inside their 'pub'... They are more than a match for the leather-clad zoned out punks that come in attack waves. The cast features William Sadler (Die Hard 2 / Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey), David Patirck Kelly (The Crow / The Warriors / Twin Peaks), George Wendt (Cheers / House), Fred Williamson (Original Gangstas / From Dusk Till Dawn), and Martin Kove (The Karate Kid / Cobra Kai)... It's so good even though it's very, very predicatable.
