Movie Nation Roger Moore

The action finale, the actual 15 Minutes of War, atones for many of the sins this solid B-picture tallies up until then. Read full review

Boyd van Hoeij

What we are thus left with is a film that's made with an impressive level of craftsmanship but with exceptionally dubious politics, as if 21st-century moviemaking magic had been let loose on a terribly conservative and hopelessly blinkered 1980s relic of a script. Read full review

Grivois’ purpose is not to force a conversation about France’s colonial past or a comparison between Africa then and now. As the body count increases in this tense but troublingly context-free drama, he mistakenly believes we’ll gladly put politics aside to revel in the French gift for the kill shot. Read full review

Almost laughably bad. If you don't mind are ridiculously unrealistic badly thought out scene after scene then you might be okay with it.
