Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
When Eagles Strike is a 2003 war action film co-produced and directed by Cirio H. Santiago. The film stars ex-bodybuilder Christian Boeving, Stacy Keach, Davee Youngblood, Nate Adams, Eddie Garcia, Rey Malonzo, and Monsour del Rosario. The film received mostly negative reviews, and the response for Boeving's portrayal of a classically written action hero has been mixed. For the Filipino market, a Tagalog language companion piece titled Operation Balikatan was made. It clocks in at 105 minutes, features a change of focus and adds specific scenes with local actors.
