Tough Guy Babysits…Again: Playing with Fire
'Playing with Fire' was clearly a film made for a kid or tween-ish audience. Keeping that in mind, I thought 'Playing with Fire' was alright, though it did portray some harmful stereotypes.
Kobra
Mexican President Velasquez has been deposed by a military coup, and is hiding in a secret place. After him are the military, who repress the loyalist peasants with brutality, and a gang of thieves, who want to get a cache of money. Velasquez thin hope of survival is his faithful bodyguard Cobra who may eventually help him escape, or at least get some documents out of the country. But Cobra can not do this alone, and alliances do not seem possible in the midst of a trigger-happy revolution.
