Look, this movie was quite well done. Bruce Willis does a good job, although he is better than this.
But it is a propaganda tract depicting American troops going out solving the problems of the world for all the grateful savages, whereas in real life not many problems get solved, the people aren't savages, and they are often stubbornly ungrateful.
I wish I could go back to simpler times when I could have enjoyed this for the well-done action thriller that it is, but these days It just isn't a fantasy that works for me any more. Too many holes in the story, and the politics was plain annoying.
5/10
