Goofs

As the team leaves the airstrip, snow-capped mountains are seen in the distance behind them, and they fly over a jungle valley towards a second snow-capped mountain range. It is implied that they fly all night, and in the morning, they approach yet another snow-capped ridge.

In reality, the high ridges of the Peruvian Andes form a long north-south strip that is narrow enough for a slow-moving westbound helicopter to overfly in about two hours, and they are not interlaced with jungles. Nowhere in South America are there three different snow-capped mountain ranges separated by such vast distances of jungle.

User Reviews

A great start which too quickly went downhill

The movie started very nicely, built the plot, the suspense, the characters, however very soon with some lame turns the main interest went South. The cast is great. All of them are renowned, top notch actors. This might be a very good movie but unfortunately I m sure it lost the audiences attention right after the heist was made. I mean you don't expect those amaetur movies from a special op soldiers..
