Back in civilian life, an ex-mercenary soldier (Christopher Walken) accepts an offer by an American businessman to overthrow a small African government. Making plans to lead the coup, Walken visits the country in the guise of a nature photographer. Suspicious, the government throws Walken into prison and subjects him to torture. While in prison, he meets a dissident political leader. Finally free, Walken is deported. Back in the United States, Walken recruits his band of mercenaries and makes a raid on the military headquarters of the country's dictator and completes the coup. But not entirely: Walken has been moved by the dissident leader he met while imprisoned, and has a nasty surprise for his American businessman sponsor. From Frederick Forsyth's intense, best-selling novel.

Walken in good form with his stares and barks. However the combat scenes are a major let-down with indiscriminate from-the-hip bullet spraying and enemies practically jumping out of cover to become cannon fodder. That'd be expected in a Rambo flick, but I had higher expectations here. There are a few fairly long scenes in French where are are no captions to be enabled. Play Movies should do that better.

THIS MOVIE DESERVED A BETTER REVIEW FROM ROTTEN TOMATOES! Taken in context, for what it was, it's a great movie!

Walken is incredible in this film based on soldiers of fortune being hired to help start a coup.
