In addition to Proof of Life, you might also check out the following movies for inspiration about mercs...
Uncommon Valor: A movie about rescuing prisoners of war in Vietnam. Based on a real op funded by Ross Perot in the 70s.
Ronin (free on youtube): A heist movie about stealing a box containing something valuable.
The dark side of the sun (from the 60s): A movie about rescuing people and diamonds from a potential rebel threat during the revolutions in Africa after WWII, staring the actor from the original Time Machine and the Birds.
The Way Of The Gun: A movie about two small-time thugs who kidnap a crime boss's daughter looking for ransom. A good movie with good shootout scenes.
The Hunted: B. Del Toro plays an assassin being hunted by a former instructor. Very good fight scenes.
The Veteran: A British movie that has a lot of good scenes and a decent story to it.
These are some lesser-known movies to give you inspiration for Ops in a Merc campaign.
