Touching story, bit over-dramatized.

Rating: 6/10 (21 July 2014)

When I see that a movie is based on a true story I always tend to watch it with a little bit of a different feeling. I tend to look more to what might actually be real and what might be exaggerated to make the movie look better.
This story of this movie is rather simple: a squad of 4 men have the mission to assassinate a terrorist leader, however they run into a couple of goat herders. They have a tough decision to make: either kill the goat herders and continue their mission (risking that the American army might get denigrated by the press, I.e American soldiers kill innocent children). Or they can let the goat herders go and risk that they will compromise their position.
The decision the soldiers make is crucial for this movie, because when they make the decision to let the herders go, all hell brakes loose. What follows is a series of gunfights where the Americans kill dozens of terrorist while falling down from quite some heights rolling down hills etc.
I do not believe that all of this happened in real life, they were all shot so many times and then falling from such heights, they could've never survived that. Also they killed many terrorist in this movie, I do not believe that you can kill 40+ terrorist with 4 man.
Even though I assume that much of this movie is over-dramatized, it's still a touching story of a squad of soldiers that make sacrifices to rescue each other.
Verdict: The story is a bit dull, much shooting and drama, but touching none the less. Probably a lot is over dramatized but it's still filmed and acted in a nice way.
I rate this movie a solid 6.
