This movie itself isn't much of a JA like movie, but I think there's a character who's heavily inspired the creators of JA2. In Outland Sean Connery plays a law enforcement officer on a space mining colony. Main baddie Sheppard, the boss of the mining operation, is played by Peter Boyle and he reminds me a lot of head miner Calvin. Though Sheppard is actually a dangerous man and Calvin more of a joke, they have some common characteristics. Both are proud of their well producing mine and they have somewhat threathening attitude towards the good guys. Also, Boyle looks quite like Calvin. In Outland he has a big beard, but regardless I instantly associated him with Calvin.
Btw, thanks to everybody for excellent movie tips so far in this thread! I especially liked Uncommon Valor, but many more good ones have also been mentioned.

i found this one here, aptly named "Soldiers of Fortune" from 2012:
Quote:Wealthy thrill-seekers pay huge premiums to have themselves inserted into military adventures, only this time things do not go exactly according to plan.

the Movie has quite a high quality cast with many well known actors (Sean Bean, Ving Rhames, Dominic Monaghan, James Cromwell, Christian Slater) and a quite Jagged Alliance like setting and feeling to it to the point, that i imagine the producers were actually inspired by JA.
actually, i could quite see a nice mod based on the premise of this movie!
anyways, probably the best mercenary themed movie of 2012 so far.

Wow, I can't believe nobody has mentioned Dogs of War!
It's about MERCENARIES being hired to take back a country in Africa from a dictator. They specifically use the local rebel soldiers for the bulk of the fighting while handling the specialties such as machine guns or grenade launchers. It's almost Jagged Alliance 2: The Movie. CHECK IT OUT!
