'John Carpenter's Toxic Commando' Review: Bring Your Friends

When I think of John Carpenter, the legendary film director, I think of old-school horror (like Halloween) or quirky films with an otherworldly slant (The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China), and, of course, I think of Kurt Russell. Carpenter has stepped outside that comfort zone at times, but his best films have featured memorable characters and/or villains. Unfortunately, if you think his name being attached to John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando means we’re getting that style of storytelling or endearing humor, you’re in for a disappointment.
