“Iron Angel” is one of the most mediocre films ever made. The film is so generic in almost every single way that the only thing that makes it stand out are several totally irrelevant flashback scenes in which women dance and/or remove their clothes.

Set during the Korean War, “Iron Angel” tells the story of a small group of American soldiers that go out to destroy a North Korean mortar position into to save supply convoys. This incredibly low budget film features a significant lack of battle sequences and those that are featured are incredibly brief so it’s no wonder why the plot focuses on taken out just a mortar position.

The American army characters in “Iron Angel” are pretty much average. The North Korean soldiers get virtually no screen time, which is a little bit of a shame. The characters that steal the show are the women in the flashback sequences. They put in tons of energy as the swing their hips around and dance without ever uttering a word. Why were these women inserted into the film? They add nothing to the story and seem like a cheap way of making sure the film was long enough to be shown in theatres rather than on television in a single hour slot.

“Iron Angel” is pretty much harmless and you will no doubt forget about it very quickly. I’ve seen very few films that look as cheap and nasty as this film but in some ways, that’s why you have to kind-of respect the film because it could be substantially worse considering the budget constraints. If you’re absolutely desperate to see a film about the Korean War and the weather outside is bad then maybe “Iron Angel” is worth watching, otherwise I’d just let it remain in the realm of obscurity.
