The photographic quality and soundtrack is superb. Would almost make you want to visit this part of the world as a tourist. If it didn't have such a terrible history - and not just the last twenty years.
The film has been roundly criticized as "flag waving" and trite. But ask yourself; wouldn't you want Gene Hackman on your side, and anyhow if it was in your power as Task Force Commander wouldn't you bend the rules. The peacekeepers were constantly outfoxed in this conflict anyhow.
The scene where the pursuing soldiers can't see Owen in the mire is shocking at every level. And gets close to what the countryside hides.
But for me the stand out part is Sacha (Vladimir Mashkov), who is actually Russian, but is so true to the part it makes the entire film for me.
And if you liked this, try Hunting Party with Richard Gere (another actor switching out of type for this part of the world) and see if you wouldn't do the same.
