I don't know if this is the right forum to post this video, if not, then please show me where,

but here goes:
Has anyone here seen this movie starring Bruce Willis, Monica Bellicci, Tom Skerritt, etc.

The scene of the ville massacre and the SEALs intervention always pulls my heart strings as this was loosly based on a true story.


IMHO, one of Bruce Willis' best movies.

That scene is righteous indignation if there ever was such. The true story the film is based on involved Canadian special forces unit JTF2, and occurred in Colombia sometime in the late 90's. Many parts of the movie mirror the true story. The book "We Were Invincible" by Denis Morisset and Claude Coulombe covers it. It was originally published in Canada in French. There's an English version on kindle in Canada.

Thank you for this information, I didn't know exactly what this was based on, but it's good to know that it was Canadian Special Forces and not USSF.
