Director: Antoine Fuqua
Cast: Bruce Willis, Monica Bellucci, Cole Hauser, Eamonn Walker, Tom Skerritt

A special Navy Seals unit is on a mission in Nigeria to rescue an American doctor, but end up getting involved in the bloody civil War. This dull and dubious action drama endorses George W. Bush's enforced democracy doctrine; the heroic US soldiers sacrifice their lives to liberate a country from tyranny because the indigenous people just aren't going to do it themselves. Bruce Willis hasn't been this wooden since Armageddon.
