Should you see it? It doesn't have enough going for it to warrant watching.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds."

Laser Mission (1989)
How bad is it? It's a bad idea, done ineptly.
Should you see it? It doesn't have enough going for it to warrant watching.
This film went straight to video and then had a surge in popularity four years later, with the death of its star, Brandon Lee. Ernest Borgnine plays a scientist who knows how to make a terrible laser weapon, if only one had a large enough diamond. The Russians steal the world's largest diamond and then kidnap Borgnine in a plan to make him create the weapon for their use. Lee has to come to the rescue, to save the world from Russian domination (which was becoming rapidly implausible as this was filmed). Borgnine was much too old for his role and Lee isn't any more believable in his and the whole film has a by-the-numbers feel.
