Goofs:

Factual errors: The rifle shown to Berenger in the cache of "antiques" and called a "Mauser seven-nine-two" was most certainly not a Mauser. By the looks of it and the cartridge compartment in front of the trigger guard, it appears to be a Moisin-Nagant seven-six-two. Though also of WW II origin, there is a vast difference as one was used by German snipers and the other was used by Russians. I notice later in the film, he is even using a "sporterized version" which has the lowered bolt lever rather than the straight stock version.

Quotes:

Captain Marks: [Cole is captured by Serbs after the assassination of Gen. Valstoria and is being interrogated] Who are you working for? The UN? Americans? British? Russians?
Cole: Do I look Russian to you?

how low can you go...

The whole crew should look for a different job. It can't be worse than this. The whole movie doesn't make any sense. It's just a random pick of different "anti-American" nations who need uncle Sam to come and spank each till they reason themselves. The “bad” guys are the Serbs but no one in the movie speaks any Serbian. The resistance is supposed to be Muslims who fight the Serbs but their names are very much Christian. Also it always seems that Russian tanks make more noise than damage…how is it possible to miss 5 people from 20 yards shooting from a tank? I can go forever like this but the movie is not worth it. Don't waste your time with it.
