every scene of this movie hit you over the head with the fact that it be indeed a movie . i could never believe that walken be a hardbitten mercenary anymore than i could believe that a tinhat dictator would be so easily overthrown and or so give to fit of cowardice . and the battle scenes all seem to be exactly what a movie version of war would look like . lot of carefully place explosive and lot of propane torch to simulate fire and and lot of schmaltzy act in all the death and dying . and then the film just sorta end with little or no real conclusion . the fight be over and the credit roll up . ho hum . why do they bother .
