See the films the platforms disagree about most →An elite military rescue team, led by a seasoned soldier, is sent into a Central American jungle on a mission to recover hostages. They easily dispatch a guerrilla camp, but soon realize they are being hunted themselves by an unseen enemy. This adversary uses advanced technology to cloak itself and sees the world through thermal vision, treating the highly trained commandos as prey in a brutal and deadly game.
