Synopsis: Doug, an American ex-military who used to train Iraqi soldiers in the war against Iran, has to return to Iraq at the time of the invasion of Kuwait because his brother was kidnapped by an Iraqi general who wishes to set a personal score with Doug.
Appraisal: Derivative actioner whose melodramatic subplot produces at least one anthological exchange of dialogue; it's between Lila and her husband, the Iraqi general she married out of love for the American soldier. General: 'Do you find me ugly because of my scar?' Lila: 'For me it is your most beautiful part, because it reminds me of the man that made it.' Note: this film's title bears no relation with anything that happens in it.
