Cheesy and dull.

Rating: 5/10 (23 November 2008)

I remember watching this movie on theaters because it had a high and intense publicity campaign here in México.
I was skeptical towards the plot and most importantly, the action sequences. I can't remember why I accepted to watch it.
The plot was ridiculously cheesy and tried to display how good, brave, and good intentioned were the characters.
Nicolas Cage is superb as always; his presence alone has a positive impact on the audience. The rest of the cast was not well chosen in my opinion.
I didn't care for any of them or their "problems".
The action sequences were dull, wooden, and even crappy. This movie tried to steal the thunder of the same year's "Black Hawk Down".
My advice is: stay away from this mindless, completely gray movie.
