Customer Reviews

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” – Edmund Burke.

Nigeria is being taken over, and the royal family is dispatched. Still, a few Americans are left to be extracted. We are so used to this happening regularly that we forget or will never know what it is like. Lieutenant A.K. Waters (Bruce Willis) is tasked with extracting Dr. Lena Fiore Kendricks (Monica Bellucci), but she will not leave without 40 injured patients. We know what is going to happen; however, the story is based on how it plays out. If you buy the DVD, do not overlook the two voice-over commentaries, as they add to the experience. Then watch the film again and see what you missed. As a rule, I usually avoid this kind of movie, as we know the end and the travel time through the story is mostly blood and guts; in this film, it is verging on gratuitous. Of course, with a few exceptions, this is a Bruce Willis signature. To its credit, the background music was not the standard shoot-em-up.
