toy soldier be the story of five misfit boys ( most noteably be sean astin and wil wheaton and and kieth coogan ) attempt to save their school from a terrorist invasion after the american government imprisons the leader father . lou gosset jr. play the headmaster of the school and a headstrong guy who try to instill in his student a sense of discipline . toy soldier be a funny and pretty cool action and and certainly the good of hostage crisis at school movie . i think most of the appeal come from the teen cast and but also and the terrorist do not come off a completely useless whereas in some movie and they never seem to be quite the intimidate group that they should . trap inside the boarding school and and threaten to be kill if the military or police interferes and this be a very formidable challenge for these group of guy who plan to save the school . theyre actually pretty clever about it and too . i be surprise that it be a pretty good movie . it keep a steady pace and doesn not get ridiculously sentimental or anything like that . astin and gosset jr. give good performance . i and too and agree that this be an underrated action movie .
