While on a mission to stop a drug operation, three Federal agents accidentally discover gold from the Civil War.

“Having worked as Second Unit Director on a fair few of his fatheru0026#39;s trashy Tu0026amp;A action films, Drew Sidaris finally gets a crack at writing and directing his own feature, Enemy Gold, which sees a trio of government agents suspended from work by a corrupt official, discovering a stolen horde of Civil War gold while on vacation, and fighting for their lives against a vengeful Colombian drug-lord and his cohorts.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSidaris Jr. starts afresh with new characters, a (mostly) new cast and a change of location, but doesnu0026#39;t exactly break new ground, using the u0026#39;hot women, guns and explosionsu0026#39; formula that has proved so successful for his old man; but despite his best efforts at emulating dear dadu0026#39;s style, Drew clearly hasnu0026#39;t been paying enough attention to the finer details…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eUnforgivably, it is a whole 10 minutes before he gets any of his ladies naked (Andy would never have allowed that); 20 minutes have gone by before there is a gratuitous hot-tub scene; and the film is almost over by the time we get the movieu0026#39;s sole soft-core sex scene. Worse still, Drew offers no radio-controlled scale model action, no comedy hit-men, and no squib-tastic bullet hits.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eKudos to Drew for casting Playboy playmates Suzi Simpson and Tanquil Lisa Collins, both of whom are stunning, and also for having Julie Strain (as assassin Jewel Panther) wave a sword around by firelight, wearing nothing but a few leather straps, but pretty much everything else about this film fails to entertain, making it one of the weakest films in my Girls, Guns and G-Strings box set (so far).”
