Just like watching Rambo 3.. just not as 80's macho

Rating: 5/10 (24 June 2019)

I'm reviewing this as I watch it which is a first. Probably a 5.8 but certainly not a 6. Anything based on a true story obviously has to take certain liberties and should be allowed a bit of artistic licence but just got the feeling it could have been so much more. Interesting story and in the hands of film makers behind Zero Dark Thirty could have been up there with the best war/action films. Certainly watchable and moves along nicely but as soon as you see Thor riding down a hill on horseback ,firing his machine gun one handed and hitting every bad guy going is when you realise it is more in the genre of his usual Superhero fantasy world. Just ok is about right for a fair review.
