What critics said
Critics and viewers broadly regard the film as a poorly acted, nonsensical, sexually exploitative action curiosity whose camp value provides some amusement.
What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
The plot centers on three federal agents who take responsibility for recovering the nuclear trigger after another female agent is murdered, while reviews emphasize that the women are the brains of the operation.
The film features former Playboy Playmates as federal agents, prominent nudity and revealing swimwear, awkward sex scenes, and widely noted cheesy dialogue and acting.
The smuggled nuclear trigger is the object the undercover agent attempts to steal and the remaining agents must recover to protect the global balance of power.
The film uses conspicuous action hardware such as a cheesy-looking gyrocopter within its pulpy federal-agent adventure.

campy spy action, exaggerated sexualization, and knowingly or unknowingly absurd entertainment
