An Excellent, if Flawed, War Movie

Rating: 8/10 (6 September 2018)

I agree with some of the negative reviewers that the invincibility of the heroes and the ineptness of their opponents is implausible.
The best parts of this film happen as the team realize that they will probably never get out alive. But it's an action movie, and you do almost feel every bullet and fall. However, the other 1-and-2 star reviewers seem to be culled from the ranks of those useful idiots who regularly post selfies of their attendance at one or another of the foolish marches plaguing the urban centers of the U.S..
It's ironic that almost everyone will cheer the "good guys" in movies about the Civil War, WWI, or WWII, even though the motives for entering each of those conflicts were initially as insidious as the motives for our involvement in Afghanistan. In fact, the Civil War was an unconstitutional, Machiavellian plot to expand the power of the federal government masquerading as an effort to free the slaves.
