Navy SEAL Lieutenant A.K. Waters and his elite squadron of tactical specialists are forced to choose between their duty and their humanity, between following orders by ignoring the conflict that surrounds them, or finding the courage to follow their conscience and protect a group of innocent refugees.

I really loved this movie when I first saw it, as a fan of realistic tactics, when I first saw them counter the ambush by charging out of the killzone in fire team bounds and then do a peel at the end to disengage I was ecstatic but after re-watching this today, I really think the whole premise bothers me. I think a better movie at this point in time for satisfying SEAL action would be Act of Valor.

The color grading is sumptuous. There was clearly a lot of effort put into color composition both before/during shooting and in editing. //

**_Solemn life-or-death jungle mission is one-note, but worthwhile for a few reasons_**

A squadron of Navy Seals led by Lt. Waters (Bruce Willis) are ordered to Nigeria to remove a beautiful American doctor (Monica Belucci) from a Christian village before Islamic militants move in and annihilate More
