A dull, formulaic, movie that makes no attempt at military realism whatsoever. Eye-rolling cringe that takes itself far too seriously. The Gladiator homage scene at the end was worthy of an aloud laugh though.
When will movie makers realize that a decent war movie needs more than some airsoft gear and film sets that are blatantly in the US? The Afghan 'baddies', in particular, were hilarious; as if they were from a live action version of Team America.
The plot was nonsensical, the dialogue contrived beyond belief, and every attempt to create emotional depth served to provoke a snort of derision. Dismal film making that's definitely not worth the 2 hours of viewing.
