A Movie That is About More Than Action

Rating: 9/10 (3 January 2017)

I walked away from this movie with several emotions.
In regards to simply the movie, I thought it was excellent. The actions scenes were very well put together, nothing was over the top and it all was very believable. It reminded my very much of Black Hawk Down with a touch of Saving Private Ryan for reference. I read some about the actual events that this movie is based off of and from as best as I can tell it was very true to real events. The drama, the interaction between the soldiers and the CIA field workers, the scenery and city, everything was very well done.
What really blew me away and made this movie really hit me was this was real. These men really went through this. They really faced this adversity, this environment, these odds against him. These men are heroes. I am so humbled there are Americans like these men that protect us, yet go unnoticed and without thanks. We would not have the freedoms we have without men and women like these individuals. It also blew me away in seeing the depiction of the local civilians and how life was for them. The fact they were in a war zone and it was simply seen as "normal" to them.
For that reason, combined with how well this movie was done, this movie an absolute must see in my book. See this movie, I promise you will walk away thankful you did.
