Paris, late 80's. Joshua Rose ( Dennis Quaid ) a Navy, is assigned to protect the U.S. ambassador to France. So he just leave them, a bomb planted by Islamic terrorists sprayed the cafe where were his wife and son. Drunken rage, Joshua enters a mosque and several Muslim kills with his gun, the last being shot by his friend Peter (Stellan Skarsgard ) while trying to shoot Joshua. The two friends, to escape justice, engage in the Foreign Legion , where they assume a new identity. After 6 years, Joshua, still consumed by revenge, decides to enlist as a mercenary in the service of Bosnian Serbs, while fighting against the Bosnian Muslims. Peter follows him. They are assigned to monitor a bridge in a small village, which separates the two camps: Joshua is a sniper while Peter uses a machine gun at the bridge entrance. The latter was killed when her guard down when a girl crosses the bridge, it ends up throwing a grenade into their position. Joshua then kills a young boy who tried to bring back a stray goat on the bridge. During a truce, Joshua joined Goran , the Bosnian Serb under whom he was working. In an exchange of prisoners with the Bosnian Muslims, Goran wants to kill Vera, a Serb raped during her captivity and carrying the child of her tormentors. Joshua kills Goran. Thus begins a desperate race through the war to save Bonie Vera and the child born of the conflict ...
A very good movie (with Oliver Stone production) on a horrific war, where civilians are slaughtered by machine gun or with knives, amid redemption an American abroad in conflict but which is forced to get involved. With a soundtrack by grandiose moments.
