About

If you like war dramas built around tense, high-pressure missions more than a sweeping story, this may work for you, especially if you liked Zero Dark Thirty or Green Zone; Not for you if you want strict realism or deeper character development.

Pros: sustained suspense; strong performances; tense bomb scenes | Cons: questioned realism; thin story; repetitive pace
