    Edit
    • Trivia
      Tensions flared between director Antoine Fuqua and Bruce Willis soon after principal photography began. By the end, they vowed never to work with the other again.
    • Goofs
      Immediately after the initial extraction from the evacuation point that was 7.5 miles from the mission, the helicopters fly over the mission. If it was safe to fly over the mission at low altitude, then why wasn't the evacuation simply conducted at the mission itself? What possible benefit could accrue to the SEAL team or the evacuees by making them hike 7.5 miles through difficult and hostile terrain, for an evacuation about a day later than was possible?

    Willis is Very Good in This Anton Fuqua Film
    Not sure why this one is so poorly rated and reviewed. I understand that Bruce Willis, like Nicholas Cage, seems to be known more for quantity than quality these days but this one is a good display of his persona. The story of soldier and US team designated to extract Monica Belluci from war torn Nigeria. The problems intensify when she refuses to leave without a group of her helpers and patients she knows will be slaughtered by the opposing forces when they attack. Belluci is very good. Willis is in top form. This film is Directed by Anton Fuqua, so you know it is intense and filled with realistic action. There are some heartbreaking moments in this one. I did enjoy it.
