Ratings and reviews

I agree with the other reviews that this movie gets more morally complex towards the end of the movie. The main fight sequence sees Afghanis dropping like flies while the Americans seem to take 1000 bullets each and still manage to stand. But when things move to the final village the depiction of Afghanis seems a lot more balanced, which is great. Worth the watch.

There's no grey area here; war is either heroic or horrific, non-Americans are either evil terrorists or completely selfless.

yeah, I seen this movie at the cinemas, a well made movie. It gave me the idea that whoever was training US soldiers for missions in that part of the world had failed to the maximum extent that failure could be determined. Those US soldiers as represented in this movie would still be enjoying their family today if they had been trained to truly understand that line Marky mark had said in the movie.... "look at them, they really hate US"
