The Dogs of War

Doreen was at her book group for about two hours this evening - just enough time for me to watch The Dogs of War, the Christopher Walken movie based on the book by Fredrick Forsyth, based on the attempted coup in Equatorial Guinea organized by Fredrick Forsyth.

A "guilt pleasure" movie for sure. There is not really a lot of action (more pieces from the book about the "end user certificate" and other miscellaneous arms smuggling stuff) but a lot of fun none the less.

The great thing is, with no military background whatsoever, it is very easy for me to suspend my disbelief. I do have a mining background, and have traveled quite a bit in The Tropics. They nail that part.

A worthwhile relaxing evening.
