Not a highly intelligent environmental thriller, but fresh and light-headed amusement about two garbage collectors who find the corpse of a murdered politician during their morning rounds. Emilio Estevez wrote the script, directed and stars in the leading role along with his brother Charlie Sheen. Estevez gave himself one of the coolest sounding names in cinema history (James St. James) but Sheen gets to have the girl (played by a gorgeous looking Leslie Hope). I'll admit, the script is ordinary adolescent nonsense, filled with running gags like: The Heroes versus the local dumb coppers and the Heroes playing pranks on some fellow garbage colleagues. But who cares, really? The jokes make you laugh while Sheen and Estevez form a terrific on-screen duo. Not to forget David Keith who provides you with some extra chuckles as the anti-social black guy, suffering from Vietnam flashbacks.
