Nicholas R As a veteran of Iraq, I despise this film. What a load of rubbish. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review Garrett K It showed the lives of these people in a human way. The different qualities of people who are in this type of work, the different ways each main character copes with it. It isn't something which focuses on military politics or morals but it's not something that needs to or necessarily should. For what it is about it does a great job at showing it and giving you their experiences.It's not a movie you watch for the cinematics or the detail and depth of a grand storyline. It's something which shows things as what they can be to people. Don't get me wrong though, there is some great cinematic and storyboarding involved, just nothing like you'd expect from big box office movies. If you like suspense and grit, this is your movie. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/30/24 Full Review Gary M As a veteran, there were some glaring technical errors. Whoever made this has no military experience. A gun won't jam if there is blood on the cartridges. You can't drag 155 shells out of the sand by just pulling on a couple of stranded copper wires. They weigh about 100 lbs each. The producer must have stumbled across an old GI Joe comic book. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/10/24 Full Review Alec C While war can bring out the worst in us, it can also bring out a rush that we can't ignore! When a squad is given a new leader after there original one dies, they are unsettled with his dangerous risk-taking which eventually leads them into some dangerous situations. Foregoing the battlefield itself and examining the headspace of the soldiers who fight for our country, we are unsure if we should root for these characters as they take lots of unnecessary gambles! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/28/24 Full Review mark g This is a really great movie. You are there. Renner and Mackie both shine. Love this film. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/24 Full Review Eye C I have to say it… this is a great movie BUT way too hard to watch it.
