![]() The film showed war at its bloodiest, most fatal, hand-to-had combat. The four men, were admirable, although I wasn't completely happy with either Mark Wahlberg's character or acting, I'm not sure why, I seemed to have the sense that he wasn't in the fight as much as the other men, as if the star needs to be saved at the end, and I dislike having to say that, because I am sure the real life hero fought as bravely as the others. And what carried the day, was not patriotism, but the the band of men, fighting together. What carried the narrative along, so that it wasn't just a shoot out, (although one of those scenes went on too long for my taste), was careful editing, back and forth between two or three narratives.

I'm usually not a fan of flag-waving war movies. Sometimes not everyone who we think are our enemies are.I highly recommend this movie! … Expand However I left the theater hating the enemy and loving the fact that I am an American!!! Although there is a bit of a twist towards the end that gives us food for thought. Sorry getting off course.acting was very believable and loved the back ground music.Peter Berg did a fine job off telling this unbelievable story of our real life super heroes. I almost wished I was younger to join such a Nobel cause.These guys albeit mostly in danger are truly living. In my humble opinion it was as good as Saving private Ryan! Not as meticulous as a Spielberg film but just as enjoyable.I'm not a military guy but after seeing this movie I have a renewed respect for these guys. ![]() ![]() I've read some of the reviews and agreed with most, its as good as a war film with true emotion as ur going to get. First and foremost the movie kept my interest from the second it started until the ending credits and beyond.Almost didn't want to leave the theater.one of the most moving movies I've seen in some time. Just left the theater and I was compelled to give my opinion of this movie. First and foremost the movie kept my interest from the second it started until the ending credits and beyond.Almost First I have to say I rarely write reviews. but that's one of the points of a fact-based war movie, right - that those who lived it did not have the option to look away? … Expandįirst I have to say I rarely write reviews. Violence of all sorts is extremely brutal and I had to look away at times. It also does a poor job of helping us establish emotional connections with the men who (obviously) are going to lose their lives. You've seen 'em all and will see them again. Unfortunately, the script and film are NOT lacking in cliches. These guys are heroic to be true to themselves and strong for their "brothers." They don't care who's president or defense secretary. These guys are heroic to be true to themselves I'm surprised at the reviews calling the film "too patriotic" or even "jingoistic." I found it to be well-acted and notably lacking in what some might call flag-waving or in politics of any sort. I'm surprised at the reviews calling the film "too patriotic" or even "jingoistic."
