Bad: Not saved by scattered sections of higher quality or inventiveness.A rather pedestrian action movie. Its "message" about corruption and corporate capture of governance in Africa is made shabbily and with little nuance. Not worth watching once, much less again. I can't remember exactly why I picked it. I was bored, wanted a movie, arrived at the Wikipedia page somehow and said sure. Based on a novel by Frederick Forsyth, but if you've got time to kill, please just read his novel Day of the Jackal, which is much better entertainment.
