Nice one dimensional video. Good and evil, and nothing in between.
Still a pretty exciting intrigue in between, with the necessary complicated pieces to keep the plot interesting. And a lot of actors to work out the contrast between good and evil - and that's certainly a nice cast together. Danny Glover in a beautiful role, and for once not as a sidekick - and he does it well. Markie Mark, a bit more the action hero than he really has a role to play, but nothing to complain about that either. And Kate Mara, what am I saying. Nothing wrong with that cast.
Nice smoothly told story further, beautiful action scenes and incredibly good shooting in between the occasional beautiful pictures of another inhospitable landscape full of men armed to the teeth. Where that does get a bit stiff is with that story, because thinking afterwards about how that plot comes anywhere near making sense is not really a good idea - it really rattles on all sides, if you move around in the role of the bad guys. Or you must be so psychologically entangled that you want to run into the lamp with all your might, then perhaps very far. But then again, why in such an insanely clumsy way.

Nice snack. If you close your eyes in the first half hour in terms of illogicalities, you can watch a nice action movie. In the last half hour it also derails a bit. There are quite a few typical American cliché boxes to tick. The Rambo-level makes no sense, ff shooting all kinds of trained people on your own and such. And yet it remains insanely entertaining enough to keep watching, unlike many other actions of similar caliber. Anyway, no.

Phew, what clichés and one-dimensional characters .. I can take quite a bit, but it is very much made here, but the conversation between the colonel and the senator at the end as a climax ... Well, the action is nice and entertaining and that is perhaps just the only raison d'être of this film. Other than that, it has nothing to offer at all.
