Goofs:
Factual errors: When the three American helicoptors are going in to destroy the truck, but are threatened by Russian groud-air missles, they say "we repeat". Repeat in military terms means "Repeat Fire" or "Fire Again". The correct term should have been "We say again".

The newspapers and the t.v. movie reviewers didn't give this a very favorable rating. As I had heard from someone else that I knew who saw this, didn't seem too impressed either. But as I live and learn, I realize that I have to be the one inevitably who says, "I like it, or it's a waste of time." I saw this, I wish it had been in the theater, but it wasn't, at any rate, I saw the characters of (Clooney) Col. Thomas Devoe and the very sweet and ever so lovely Nicole kid man's Dr. Kelly as being the type of characters that could keep me in an interested and ever curious state. Which for me, is exactly what I look for in a film.
I enjoyed the search and out of country 'trauma', that happens when in a foreign land at times, kind of like the terror that over-took the characters in "Clear And Present Danger". Although these two are different 'flavors' there seems to be a parallel in the action and the characters engrossment of their duty.
As such, I liked how Clooney seemed as Devoe and his mode of operation. I usually don't see a lot of female directors that really bring it home with an action persona, but Mimi Leder has done that to a very satisfying extent.
George Clooney and Nicole Kidman carry out a great working 'chemistry' that I found not only watchable, but believable.
I recommend this action adventure/thriller quest for all fans of the like and the two. Enjoy. (***)
