I happen to enjoy both of the main actors, Terence Howard and Richard Gere, and here they pair well in a strange mission to track down the notorious 'Fox' responsible for many innocent slaughters 5 years earlier.
Terrence Howard is Duck, who in various conflicts had been the camera man for famous foreign correspondent, Richard Gere as Simon. But during that last war, in a 'live' moment of reporting, went off the deep end on TV and was fired. After that episode he had difficulty finding gainful work.
James Brolin is good as the stuffy news anchor Franklin Harris. It was his live report that Simon had been on those years earlier.
Duck and Simon had a chance encounter in Bosnia when many were back for a memorial ceremony. Duck had been promoted and was Harris' personal cameraman, but he secretly missed the action and near-misses with bullets flying everywhere.
Simon tells Duck that he knows where the notorious Fox is, and is going to get an interview, and he wants Duck to go with him. Reluctant, but Duck can't resist, and they take a young intern with them, the Harvard graduate son of a network VP.
Well, Simon didn't have any inside information on the Fox, and just hoped he would find him. His real motive was to capture him and claim the widely advertised $5Million bounty. How do you do that, in his home territory where they view him as a hero?
A very action-filled movie, with lots of humor. And a good ending.
MAJOR SPOILERS. The three find the Fox, but are captured and apparently about to be executed when USA reinforcements show up. The Fox gets away, but Simon doesn't give up. He figures out, maybe when the Fox is actually hunting foxes, he might be an easy target. The plan works, they capture him but, instead of turning him in for the reward, tie him up and put him in the car's trunk. Then they let him out in the village where he had murdered so many, and as the scene ends we see him stumbling to get away while the whole town moves towards him, to deal their own form of justice.
