What are these People Reviewing?

Rating: 8/10 (19 June 2018)

As usual after I've seen a movie I check it out on IMDb. I was a little surprised to see the average review sitting at 6.6 so I started reading the reviews. The reviews are largely polarized with just a few in the middle. When you look at reviews under 5, and particularly the 1's and 2's, it's obvious that these lower reviews are, to a large extent, politically based. They tend to focus on negative portrayal of Afghans I didn't see that), overly positive portrayal of the special operators and cast doubts on the reliability of the plot. In other words, this movie, based on actual events, doesn't match the reviewers world view and therefore it must be a bad movie.
Don't be taken it by this. It's actually a well done war movie that does a pretty good job of portraying the down in the dirt reality of war. The acting is straight forward and the characters are pretty true to life based on military folks that I know. I really recommend it. Now let's see if this review actually gets published ...
