Standout Aspects

Practical Effects

Genuinely impressive helicopter stunts for a TV movie budget.

Acting

Hal Holbrook phones in dignity; everyone else phones in existence.

Production

Shot in South Africa pretending to be everywhere else.

Best for:Background: Fold laundry while explosions happen somewhere on screen.·Friends: Drinking game: sip every time someone says 'Delta Force'.·Rewatch: Only if you hate yourself and love Hal Holbrook's mortgage payments.
Heads up:Violence: Bloodless '90s action violence, surprisingly tame for Ebola premise.·Triggers: Casual 1997 Islamophobia and awkward South African apartheid filming context.
