Does justice in many flattering levels

Rating: 7/10 (13 May 2018)

'12 strong' is truly iconic in its own way of paying homage to the war heroes who are famously known as 'Horse soldiers'
The film also serves as a portrait for how a religion will be manipulated by evil willed people to justify the fake minded toxic manipulative realities.
The film is layered with good performances by its cast.
Navid Negahban who plays General Dostum manages to outshine the main lead Captain Nelson played by Chris Hemsworth particularly with an effortless investive performance.
The first quarter of the film might feel like a bit too slow paced where the war strategies are formulated but hang in there because the film would definitely serve as a good enough War film leading up to the climax with as many as shooting sequences that you would expect.
Apart from the fact that the flow of the plot takes too much time in the first half to show the viewers how the war strategies are laid out where it almost loses the consistent momentum I didn't come across any other place where the delivery of this heroic story fell flat.
Do not miss this. I'm going with 3.5/5 stars
