This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Its such BS that it bombed in the box office and is seen as a financial disaster. I first saw this movie when I was like 10 years old. Even at that age, I was a very sensitive kid, having felt any and every emotion very intensely for as far back as I remember. "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" Didn't know this quote until watching this movie, and it has never left me.

[@seraphik]

this movie started out so cheesy that i nearly gave up on it. glad i kept watching though because it just got better and better. by the end it was so intense that i was totally riveted. that final firefight was an underappreciated feat of filmmaking... so chaotic and yet you never lose track of what's going on. honestly i feel like this is one of the last vestiges of american military patriotism in film. and i kinda love that they fake you out a bit, making you think it's gonna be some sappy love story between monica bellucci's character and bruce willis's. and while the chemistry is definitely there, it turns out the story was actually about the tribal king of ibo getting across the border to unite his people and save his home.

The soundtrack is epic for that part

This War Movie was based on a True Event that happened ( Checked out American Marines sacrificed to save a French Lady Doctor in Africa ) ... Salute to All those who have sacrificed to help saved the innocents from the extremist warlords ... May Good Gods & Goddesses protect & blessed the innocents , always! 🕯🌷🕊🌍♥️🇺🇲

Wasn't this Movie based on the Actions of Canadian marines.

[@royrogers3133]

This reminds me of tropic thunder. The movie they were trying to film at the start.

You know it's Danger Close when those Hornets fired AMRAAMs instead of JDAMs.

[@bobojo37]

Can the F/A-18 carry JDAMs? I thought those required a bigger aircraft, like a B1 Lancer to carry.

[@rbclc]

@@bobojo37 JDAM is a modular kit that compatible with Mk-80 series General Purpose Bomb which is a kind of standarize dumb bomb for the Hornets.

@@rbclc today I learned. Thanks

[@Booyaka9000]

@@rbclc You'd never fly that low and that fast with JDAMs anyways...

I like how he hits the spin recovery switch with the clean, newly labeled "missile arm" sticker over it. haha

Pre 9-11 modern war movies are just weird to me now. 9-11 Global War on Terror Veteran 9 years paratrooper 4 years of my life in Afghan. It's crazy look back at what we as a country thought our future military conflicts would be pre 9-11.

[@dominickjustave3860]

This is based on a true story

[@N75911_]

This movie came out 2 weeks before the invasion of Iraq, and well into the war in Afghanistan.

[@bryanperez9020]

@@dominickjustave3860 Not exactly. Its based on a mission conducted by canadian special forces unit JTF2 to rescue a NGO and church workers in colombia after guerillas began disturbing the peace. They were pursued through the colombian jungle by FARC guerillas and engaged them twice. They were eventually rescued by american helicopters

Americans don't watch films if the heroes aren't American.

[@donaldleggett]

Which CSF mission would that be?

[@jackcloud4728]

Well everyone knows Americans are the only heroes around here they invented freedom you know

[@thegunslinger1363]

This was released only a week. Before the US invasion of Iraq. Hardly a coincidence.

@@thegunslinger1363 no it wasn't. We went in March 2003. Film came out September 2003.

2:44 That's for spin recovery in the F18, not for missile arm. Weapons arm is to the left of the left MFD.

There's something really beautiful about self sacrifice. Especially for those who you don't know. They're people, and that's all that matters.

[@rhrh2025]

That was a great movie, and it brought to the surface some rather unpleasant things that go on in Africa....... that we never hear about!

[@afroartist1086]

It was honestly meh, Beast of no Nation did a better job at bringing awareness.
