This is some cool news even though I already own both movies on DVD, but we are getting a Blu-ray double dose of supercharged military action, directed by Mark L. Lester (Commando, The Ex) – The Base and The Base 2: Guilty as Charged!
The Base (1999) – When an officer is gunned down on the Camp Tillman Army base, the Pentagon sends in their top Army Intelligence man, John Murphy (Mark Dacascos, Only the Strong, John Wick 3). Murphy discovers that a senior sergeant (John Abell, Rapid Assault) and his men are attempting to take over the drug business along the Mexico border. As Murphy delves deeper into the case, he walks a fine line of corruption—and ultimately pits himself against an entire army.
The Base 2: Guilty as Charged (2000) – Two dozen U.S. soldiers are missing without a trace and the President wants answers. It’s up to John Murphy (Antonio Sabàto Jr., High Voltage, The Big Hit) to find them. Murphy goes undercover to infiltrate an underground military court where those judged guilty are forced into a lethal sport of hunting—and they are the prey. It will take more than surviving the game to take down the court’s sadistic ringleader (James Remar, The Warriors).
Coming on May 19th on Blu-ray in the US from KinoLorber: #TheBase / #TheBase2: Guilty as Charged (1999/2000)!
