"This movie version of two episodes (Deja Vu and Apres Vu) from the tv show Soldier of Fortune Inc. was not a failed pilot for the series. The pilot episode was entitled "Genesis" and there were 20 awesome episodes, including "Deja Vu" and "Apres Vu". (The second season was a major disappointment. They changed the series name to Special Ops Force, canned two of the actors, replaced them with none other than Dennis Rodman (need I say more) and generally wrecked the show...) However, back to the DVD.
The show starred Brad Johnson, Tim Abell, Melinda Clarke, Real Andrews, and Mark Shepard as ex-military and CIA types, and David Selby as their "boss". They became "Soldiers of Fortune" and conducted various black ops missions around the globe. In these two episodes, they were sent on a mission to rescue someone who they believed had been kidnapped, but discover that their intel was "flawed" and the mission goes really really bad. This is portrayed through two perspectives, first by Major Shephard's point of view (Brad Johnson) and by what really happened. If you watch carefully, it is not confusing, it is an interesting, creative way of presenting an action-packed story.
I really wish that Jerry Bruckheimer would release the whole season one series of Soldier of Fortune, Inc. on DVD. I would be first in line to buy it, it will always be one of my all time favorite tv shows! And by the way, Jerry Bruckheimer has had several successful tv shows since then, ever hear of CSI and Without A Trace?"

"This show had several elements that made it fun to watch. The friction between Margo and Benny Ray. Chance, an expert with edged weapons. CJ, battling alcoholism, while also handling explosives. The "on and off" romance between Matt and Margo. And, in the second season, the unpredictability of Deke. Not to mention the action! And then, there was Margo. Very sexy!
Unfortunately, we were left hanging at the end of season two. DANGIT!
Hopefully, both seasons of this show will come up for sale soon!"
