Semi-spoilers ahead... Pretty faithful to the Fredrick Forsythe novel; not so much a war movie as a suspense movie; the short "war" at the end is the result of patience and careful planning - lots of international wheeling-dealing and intrigue. Walken plays the perfectly stoic aging mercenary who's beginning to wrestle with the moral aspects of his profession, and in the end decides to do the "right" thing instead of just what he's been paid to do............Well worth watching. Watch for Ed O'Neill in an early film role.
