The wounds looked realistic; not much else did.

Rating: 4/10 (31 December 2013)

Why would someone want to watch a bunch of men get shot up and all their wounds prominently displayed for much of the film?
To see what a modern day war in Afghanistan is like perhaps?
In that case, how could a group of Navy seals roll down the side of a jagged rock cliff for several hundred feet and survive, not once but twice (3 times for Mark Wahlberg)? Impossible, I don't care if you're a Navy Seal or an Imperial Stromtrooper. Why would a village of locals try to protect an American Soldier on the lam from the Taliban? Why would the soldiers let the goat herders go when it was obvious what the result would be? Why did these genius Navy Seals not simply take their prisoners to a different location when it was clear radio communications were not working where they were? How come the Navy seals all survived multiple gunshot wounds (at least for awhile) and all the Taliban went down for the count as soon as they were hit?
Movies like this need to make sense. If you want to make a complete fiction based on the impossible or improbable, like a Superman or an Avatar, you need to introduce early on a world of fantasy.
This movie instead tried to portray a modern day event in Afghanistan. I doubt the real Navy Seals are impressed.
