Starts as a slick if cliched 'group of grey morals tough guys get too greedy and shit goes south' movie, and ends as a slick but toothless 'these mercenaries have hearts of gold and resolve all their arguments and it doesn't really matter that they killed a fuckton of people in the country they claim to be helping and one of them dies, because they get out with barely a scratch and give their money to the dead guy's family, except *that* doesn't even matter because the lead guy has the coordinates to a shitload more money and a sexy traumatised refugee to fuck' that the actors all get through on autopilot.
Symptomatic of lunk-headed 'fuck the world' American foreign policy, or a satire of it? I strongly suspect the former.
Gets 1.5 because the action's put-together really well.
