Based on the 1976 true story of the Somalian rebel hijacking of a school bus with 21 French children and an American teacher onboard. The rebels drive the bus to the border between the French colony and Somalia. French captain Andre Gerval is called to lead a small team of elite snipers to secretly prepare an emergency rescue. When diplomacy comes to a standstill and time is running out, Gerval and his team carry out a sniper attack to get the children and their teacher out safely. (Eagle Entertainment)

A film based on real events. A bus full of children is hijacked by Somali terrorists just outside the Somali border and a French special unit is sent to the scene to resolve the situation. The first hour is slower and offers a couple of moments we've seen before, but the last half hour breaks down into a solid action-packed carnage full of headshots and some nice sniper shots. Definitely decent and the beautiful Olga Kurylenko is always a delight. 65%
