At the start of the movie Capt. Kyle Fierson is lying on a beach in the Phillipines. We have to go back in time to find out why.
Lilian is rich and influential and she can call special military units--not necessarily affiliated with the U.S. government--to get things done. In this case, her company's stock is going down because a scientist has made a major breakthrough. An entire power plant can fit in a very small space.
This is not a good thing. For corporations, it means a major loss of business. For terrorists, it means a major opportunity to create havoc. Including nuclear weapons. This development must be stopped! Fierson's unit is official, but "disposable"; no one is expected to live. And after more shooting than you would see in most movies not involving Schwarznegger, Van Damme, Willis or Stallone, only Fierson is alive. He must get answers and save himself and the world? Can he?
I'm not really sure who the "special ops" were. If this movie was supposed to celebrate our military, it didn't do that good a job. Except in showing how Capt. Fierson can get himself out of any jam.
And of course the scenery in The Phillipines is great.
There's also some humor here and there as Fierson has to scheme to get things done.
But there have been better action movies.
