Revealing War...

Rating: 7/10 (3 September 2016)

A hard hitting war drama that shows the true nature of brotherhood and friendship that is built and destroyed during war. At the same casting a light onto the pain of losing friends and brothers. A well shot film that casts the beautiful Afghanistan scenery alongside true events from Operation Red Wing. The use of real footage from the gruelling training of the elite Navy Seals at the start of the film instantly shows how the film establishes the theme of brotherhood. Individual acting is limited to moaning about injuries, harsh barking of orders and some jovial banter between comrades but the bond between the soldiers is clearly demonstrated inthis film which is the ultimate aim of the film, to retell the story of the brave men who died during that fateful operation. A touching slideshow of photos of the soldiers who died in the operation to finish the film is a perfect ending to the film.
