This movie is a piece of trash. It has incredible potential, Willis was, is, and always will be a badass, but this movie is just plain bad. The characters are flat, I couldn't work up any kind of empathy for anyone in this film... no, not even the helpless innocents getting murdered. That is, by the way, a result of bad filmmaking, not some colossal personality flaw on my part. The plot is appalling, and revolves basically around a) the female lead character being an idiot, and b) Bruce Willis' character being totally whipped. The (melo)dramatic elements in the movie simply don't work, because you don't care about any of the characters. Anyway, I had really high hopes for this movie, but although Willis is his trademark self, even he can't redeem this movie over the horrible writing, plot, and mediocre action directing. Plus 1/2 point because Bruce Willis is cool, but I'm even taking that away because this one was such a letdown.… Expand

Okay, let me say I rented this movie for free and it was a total waste of my time. The characters are so flat and cliched its hard to feel symathetic toward any one of them. I mean come on! These tough badass soldiers suddenly have a change in heart?! yeah right. The dialouge was horrible and the death scenes were so over dramatized I felt like I was reading a last-minute college term paper. This is class A garbage. And the message? Well, lets just say that oddles of war movies cover the same hollywood abbused "moral message". … Expand

Insanely boring, full of weird inconsistancies, and featuring a whole whack of people you probably won't bother to care about. Did I mention that it takes almost an hour for anything resembling an "action" scene to take place?

Bruce plays what would be about the oldest 0-3 (Lieutenant) in Navy Special Ops history, and the director seemed to have almost no knowledge of Special Operations or basic military tactics. This is bad, but even worse is keeping the gorgeous Monica Bellucci covered with a bad, baggy outfit, simulated sweat and disgusting layer of grime for most of the movie. This is a woman who's not afraid to show a little high quality skin, wasted in a roll some fatso could have played with gusto. I give it a THREE for the mindless action sequences and passable cinematography. The story was awful and the resulting movie a boring waste of my time. Bruce and Monica deserve better, and what the devil was Ton Skerritt thinking? The cliched "rebels" with the bloody machetes could have cut a better film!… Expand

Good God the screenplay is bad!! I almost walked out on this movie. And now I wish I had!

This is a pretty awful movie, but technically speaking, it's made very well and it seems like they at least intended to shed light on Africa's problems. Monica Bellucci gives so many fiery exhalations of breath in this film that she comes off like a wronged school girl. And anyhow she looks like a J. Crew ad, not a doctor in Africa. How anyone thought they could make a serious comment on Africa by way of Bruckheimer-esque military movie is beyond me... … Expand

incredible stupid movie. if it would have to be a good action movie, trash the female char, trash the refugees, just invade some country and stfu. the whole patriotic music, the extremly dumb dialogs which hurts even the intelligence of a fly can make you vomit fast if you have to watch it. disc: english isnt my main language.

Professionally made awful movie: to be avoided. The plot is only realistic for people showing afrike in south amerika on the map. Completely undeveloped characters just relying on standard clichés (saves character build time) this movie just relies on what would be the imagination of a 12 years old writer playing with his lego-soldiers. All thumbs down.

Too unrealistic...the only thing that made those guys navy seals were their weapons. The mission they were on their decisions are total bs.
