The Dark of The Sun starts off great and could of stayed that way if not for bad dubbing and very stupid scenarios. The movie takes place in Africa's Congo during the brutal Simba Revolt which is portrayed realistically in all its brutal violence. Rod Taylor is excellent as Captain Curry a mercenary with a heart of gold. Jim Brown places Taylor's sidekick and the two play very well off each other. There is also an ex-Nazi mercenary thrown in for drama. Here is where things go.as astray. The German actor is clearly dubbed in and the dubbing and voice over is terrible. Supposedly, the Nazi is needed to pull off their mission, but does nothing but attack and try to kill Taylor throughout the film. The ending is extremely stupid and non-believable. After killing JimBrown's character and stealing the diamonds, the ex-Nazi killed by Rod Taylor. Taylor then tells his military aid to arrest him for murder. That is the ending. Stupid as heck. Dark of the Sun could have been a truly great action film, it ends up as just an okay one.
