Dark of the Sun (1968)

Directed by Jack Cardiff
My rating: 3 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Rod Taylor and Jim Brown lead a group of mercenaries into the Congo. A native uprising threatens the employees and family of a diamond company, among them Yvette Mimieux. They get most of them onto a train, but the well armed natives manage to stop them as they overrun a town. The second half of the film is tense and well mounted, including an unbelievable sequence in a hotel from hell.
