Conditions PLAYING Near - In director Antoine Fuqua???s (Training Broad daylight) new initiative-occurrence film, Bruce Willis stars as Lt. A.K. Waters, the dedicated veteran officer of a Navy S.E.A.L section, who travels to take up arms-torn Nigeria to rescue Dr. Lena Kendricks (Monica Bellucci), a U.S. voter who runs a occupation in the countryside. She refuses to renounce the refugees lower than drunk her custody, and implores Waters to convoy them on a harmful trek including the jungle to the verge upon of Cameroon.
