Reviews:
"There's a great feel for the suicidal brio of the career adventurer, and that sense of life spent in proximity to death informs the razor's-edge set pieces..." - 09/01/2011 Sight and Sound
"If you're a sucker for macho action flicks like THE EXPENDABLES, then Jack Cardiff's DARK OF THE SUN is required viewing." -- Grade: A - 12/14/2012 Entertainment Weekly
