About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a straightforward, mission-focused military action ride with lots of firefights and gear on display, similar in spirit to Hunter Killer; Not for you if you need deep characters or dislike overt patriotic messaging.

Pros: intense combat action; globe-trotting pace; authentic military feel | Cons: thin story; wooden acting; heavy-handed patriotism
