Good but, it could have been so much better.

Rating: 8/10 (20 January 2018)

12 Strong tells the true story of a group of soldiers, who are part of an elite task force. Post the horrific events of 9/11, these soldiers are sent to Afghanistan. Now, Captain Mitch Nelson(Chris Hemsworth) & his comrades have to defeat the Taliban in Afghanistan. They take the help of an Afghan warlord.
12 Strong is a great film. Director Nicolai Fuglsig has given us a thrilling war movie. The action set pieces are the highlight of the film. The main flaw of the movie is, it takes some time to pick up the pace. It can get really slow, at times. The cast has done a memorable job. Chris Hemsworth is spectacular as Captain Mitch Nelson. It is refreshing to see Hemsworth play a regular character, after portraying Thor multiple times. Michael Shannon is outstanding as Hal Spencer. Michael Pena is brilliant as Sam Diller. Navid Negahban is superb as General Dostum. Trevante Rhodes is good as Ben Milo. Geoff Stults, Thad Luckinbull, Austin Hebert, Austin Stowell, Ben O'Toole, Kenneth Miller, Kenny Sheard, Jack Kesy, Rob Riggle & William Fichtner are fantastic as Sean Coffers, Vern Michaels, Pat Essex, Fred Falls, Scott Black, Kevin Jackson, Bill Bennett, Charles Jones, Lt. Colonel Bowers & Colonel Mulholland, respectively. 12 Strong is not a must watch. However, it is worth a watch for fans of Chris Hemsworth & war films. Go & witness the heroism of the Horse Soldiers.
