An okay movie

Rating: 6/10 (9 April 2018)

This tells the true story of a group of 12 special forces soldiers who go to Afghanistan after the 9/11 attacks for a mission to aid a warlord to take back territory from the Taliban.
Due to the mountain terrain they have to cover, they spend most of the film on horseback. This gives a slight twist to the whole action war film but they still have top notch guns and targeted air strikes.
They is an okay movie. Its a bit melodramatic, especially at the beginning. Soldiers who have just retired from active service for an office job demanding they be let back to active service after 9/11. Spouses unhappy that their husbands are going into a dangerous situation etc...
It does keep you interested, although my attention struggled near to the end. The problem is that there is only so many times you can see someone shoot a Taliban soldier. It also is very predictable.
Maybe you need American patriotism to enjoy the movie fully but overall its worth a watch. I just wouldn't pay especially to watch it, as you will fill short changed.
