Trivia:

In the final scene loading the coffin, the aircraft in the hangar, N246DH, is an SA-227 Sweringen Metroliner. Although the logo is not shown, this aircraft is owned and operated by Ameriflight, Inc., an all-cargo company based in Burbank, CA. This particular aircraft is the high gross weight Expediter version and was previously owned by DHL International (Note the DH in the tail number). It was originally white, black and maroon, DHL's colors at the time, before being repainted in the white and two-tone blue colors of Ameriflight in the late 90's.

Goofs:

Crew or equipment visible: At the end of the movie when Gen. Valez is lying on the ground after being shot, Alvaro Cardona approaches the General. If you look closely at the bullet hole in Cardona's upper left arm you can see the exploding device that releases the blood through the tattered shirt.

Quotes:

Columbian Soldier:All you Americans think you're Rambo!
Chief Carter Holt:Actually, I prefer John McClane.

Cheap, stereotypical, predictable, poor acting...Was it supposed to be a porn?

Where do I start? When the movie first started, I wondered if there were a problem with the image quality and with the way it was filmed ! This is the same quality of a cheap porn. Did they use the same camera ?

Secondly, to reinforce this image of a cheap porn, the actors/actresses's acting skills are very poor and they all look like porn actor/actresses: male all bodybuilded on steroid, female all bimbo !

Add to that the very poor special effect (explosion made by my little brother, no real stunts (green screen), no military expertise...) ... This movie is very disappointing ! I don't mind bad acting in a "action/navy seal movie" but this is quite bad and I expect at least credible explosion !

Oh and did I mention the massive clichés...this movie is so stereotypical and predictable

Playing Ghost Squad or Rainbow 6 on your xbox is more realistic ... I put a 2 because I saw worse ..
