About
If you want a tense, fact-inspired combat thriller with nonstop danger and a survival focus, this should appeal, especially if you liked American Sniper or 12 Strong; Not for you if long runtimes and heavy patriotism wear you down.
Pros: intense action; gripping atmosphere; strong camaraderie | Cons: overlong runtime; thin character depth; one-sided perspective
