good action film but NOT SO ACCURATE

Rating: Null/10 (25 April 2011)

Forgetting the fact that the hero in this movie later turn out to be a child molester (not a good person as he is made out to be) or that there are accusations that the Rangers used the woman and children in one of the scenes as a shield, the biggest inaccuracy is the downplay of the roles the Pakistanis and Malaysians who were a big part in saving the butts of the captured Americans.
Sure, it won't make a big blockbuster if the movie didn't kiss up to the "American exceptionalism" but it is far from saying it is ACCURATE. Ridley Scott also directed kingdom of heavens, which is a good movie but didn't do well since it doesn't fit the American taste, but even that film had inaccuracies like the use of fire arrows in battle scenes (probably to give that zazz to film) and this unknown character bailan which I doubt would amount to anything if you consider the giants Saladin and the knight templars.
