Final Score: "Good" Guys 1,000"Bad" Guys 19Game Over

Rating: 8/10 (8 February 2015)

There are Two Ways to Approach Analysis of this Ridley Scott Film, One is on an Artistic Level and the Other is the Comparison with the Actual Events and the Based on Actual Events Depicted On Screen.
The "Entertainment" Value Contained in this Rousing Rah-Rah War Movie is, Despite the Tragic Consequences and Wholesale Slaughter and Loss of Life, is Undeniably a "Good Time" for those that Enjoy Shoot 'Em Ups and Video Games.
The Scenes of Battle on the Confined and Unforgiving Streets in Such a Hostile Situation are Precisely Pictured and the "You Are There" Feeling is Present Throughout. The Visceral and Violent Carnage is Gut-Wrenching and Scary at Times and is so Professionally Done that the Accolades it has Received as a Remarkable Accomplishment are Justified.
However, the Individuals Involved in the Raid are Less Individual and More Stereotypical and Cookie-Cutter and the Reasons for the Raid are Fleeting and Vague. The Result is a Good Movie full of Propaganda Exercises and a Not Very Good Movie in Terms of Historical Events and Lacking Any Fully Realized Motivations, Psychology, or Philosophy.
Overall, an Entertaining if Hardly Enlightening Movie to Rally the Citizenry and Wave the Flag with Little Regard for Consequences Concerning Botched Missions and the Reason for Being and Therefore Remains Somewhat Suspect and Cannot be Considered a Great Film.
