Uncle Sam

I kinda dug this flick. Sure it was cheesey, but it had good features. I liked the clip from the beginning credits where they ran the old cartoons and commercials featuring Uncle Sam. The movie had a very slow start, until the bodies began to hit the floor about 50 minuets into the film. One of the best things about the film was the creativity and variations in the weapons used. Eveything from flag polls, to the bar-b-q grill. All in all, a 3 out of 5.
