fcerezo-98950 There had been numerous Afgan war movies but this French one really is second to none. Why? It is intensely brutal, realistic and at the end makes it very clear that the news are not fake, the news of those reporters embedded into war conflict are coming from humans sensible to the distress that occurred in the war zone and it is all worth sending the special forces not to rescue just their fellow soldiers but the single person there who writes about the atrocities of the Talibán in that forsaken place.

iain-milnes-987-378522 The scenery and acting seem authentic (to one who was never there). However, to escape the team trudges for a week over the mountains and when they get down at the other end then *surprise* the bad guy is there waiting for them, It just isn't credible.If you can suspend belief about the plot is is a great movie, but beware, there is a tear jerker at the end!

tolgaozgun Movie started very good by giving sense you are really part of the special forces team. All the humor in order to get over the fear of the operation. End the start of the operation was pretty good it was a simple plan but with a good execution except the sniper part since I haven't a sniper without a buddy to watch operation area.After the operation int evacuation part it was really a messed-up story. Two choppers full of soldiers are afraid of some tali**ban punk with a rocket launcher (not Stinger) by the way rocket-man had wasted its only ammunitions... I think one mini gun should sweep them off even if it did not kill them all I am pretty sure that all tali**ban cockroaches gonna sh**it their pants ...After this point everything got pretty illogical in every way possible both technical and emotional.To sum up :Still watchable. Acting and the scenes are quite good. But script play and reality is below average. if screenplay was good it would 7-8 over 10

John-S362 First and most important, this movie is a tribute and sadly describe a mission going south. Having watched both versions (French and English) A lot got lost in the translation... It displays an actual and realistic shady world that most don't want to believe exists. Being a serviceman myself, it please me seeing movie like this that revolves real everyday heroes that lives in the shadows. They made it more real than Act of Valor and by far. They can't make it more real and 'pleasing' for the general population than this as anything more would be a documentary. I've seen reviews bashing 'elites' and so on, do your research or speak of experience. Quick example ***SPOILER*** The sniper take down, people wonder why he runs after hitting the enemy in the leg... Where there is one,there is two... He assumes he's not alone and relocate to take second shot as hes exposed already.If a second shooter would try to shoot ,he knows its not the same one... ***SPOILER END8***Overall, if you want to watch an accurate and sneak peak of how quickly things can go wrong and the sacrifices some makes everyday. Watch this movie with an eye of culture , not pure entertainment void to fill and you might see things differently. I say again , it is a tribute and borderline documentary.
