Entertainment Reviews:
...[Fuqua] knows how to stage a skirmish in the foliage so that each leaf glistens with waxy moonlit peril...and he makes gripping use of silence...
Entertainment Weekly
Rating: 2/5 --
A huge screaming bore of a war flick with a big plate of pretentiousness on the side.

Shamelessly one-sided with cheesy wooden dialogue.

Common Sense Media
Rating: 1/4 --
Fuqua ... can stage action, but he can't save a trivializing, reactionary script featuring a Hollywood star (read America) as a global savior.
Rolling Stone
Rating: B- --
...an unapologetic paean to the nobility of the American foot solider.
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Rating: 2/5 --
The movie regales us with the heroics of a (mostly) white American platoon picking off anonymous black savages.

...Willis does easily what some actors cannot do at all, playing minimalist hard-boiled heroism...

Product Description:
Lt. A.K. Waters (Bruce Willis) and his elite team of Navy SEALS have their work cut out for them when they are dispatched to war-torn Nigeria with orders to rescue an American citizen, Dr. Lena Kendricks (Monica Bellucci). The mission is pretty cut and dry except for one glitch: Dr. Kendricks will have to abandon the natives to whom she has been providing healthcare and those that work in the mission where her rudimentary hospital is located. Of course, Dr. Kendricks refuses to leave without her people, forcing Lt. Waters to choose between completing his orders as directed or putting the lives of his men on the line by helping the refugees cross the border to Cameroon on foot. To complicate matters, the group is being pursued by militant guerillas who destroy everything in their path. Willis is in top DIE HARD form as Lt. Waters, a touch-as-nails military man who confronts his conscience and makes decisions that surprise even him as he finds himself influenced by the stubborn Dr. Kendricks. Directed by Antoine Fuqua (TRAINING DAY), this film offers an enlightening and disturbing look at the conditions that permeate war-torn countries.
