At best it is an ok movie. While the events may have been true we certainly do not know for a fact how it really went down. I know for a lot of people from the other side of the pond, anything that their govt and army says is the gospel. However I am really weary of seeing Captain America type of movies where only the Americans know how to shoot, kill, jump, ride and have emotions. Did I fail to mention are invincible as well. On that accord this movie excelled. The Afghans who incidentally historically have fought and mind you defeated many empires were once again portrayed and fumbling buffoons. If you wish to see how great and good the Americans are you will also not be disappointed.

Another one of the same
Utter Piffle
If you like your war films to be one round short of decent, this could be your flick! An hour in before any action takes place. The U.S. Department of Propaganda has excelled on this 'true story.' Script is duff, as is the cast. It is on around 90 minutes too long too. Don't think the Taliban have landed a single round so far. Not sure I can watch the entire flick. IT REALLY IS THAT BAD. I wish I could rate it as zero.
Too predictable 'good guy, bad guy' movie
I was very disappointed, when I left the cinema. It's all 'good guy, bad guy'; The Americans are the saints, the heros; The Al Qaida the bastards.
A soldier is asked; 'Will you do this dangerous job?' Fearless he answers: 'We're here anyway. Let's finish the job'. Yawns...
I'm more into realistic war-movies, with depth-characters. So to me, watching this movie was a waste of my time (and money).
