Synopsis
In war-torn Angola during a time of peace, army veteran Jack Randall (Patrick Bergin), has a dangerous mission . . . clearing minefields. But when the truce is broken, he and his allies face a new hazard – escaping the rebel force. Stranded in the middle of a mine-filled war zone, five unlikely soldiers are just one step ahead of a ruthless mercenary . . . and one step away from death.
The Movie
Unfortunately, it's basically forgettable with a story line that lacks strength or novelty. However, focus on the father/son relationship sub-plot and you'll find it interesting. Not that it's new ground, but Daniel gets the opportunity to work with a range of emotions that will draw you in.
