bad screenplay, bad directing....

Rating: Null/10 (31 December 2013)

first of all, the screenplay was not well crafted and written, there were scenes after scenes obviously were added up to compile together to make a hollow combat record longer than it should be. the directing was so poor that made this film look like a patching work. there are lot of viewers, especially males, who just like to gobble up anything related to 'special forces', 'rangers', and 'navy seals' military movies but never watched them with 'reasonable doubts'. here is a movie that cheated us with fake terrain of afghanistan, the terrains showed us in this movie are absolute American, new Mexico or some location in the rocky mountains, part of the budget was spent on building some look-alike mud square buildings, houses imitated what should be look like in afghanistan, it's just horrible to watch a film so carelessly chose the locations to fool the viewers. the screenplay also suffered a fatal arrangement to put scenes on the enemy, those ragged headed actors looked so modern and phony. the whole sequence of the operation was pretty laughable and amateurish. if the real military operations in afghanistan were like this pathetic arrangement, no wonder we American ground forces in that country would have suffered such a big loss of soldiers and crippled so many young men without any probable cause. this is a horrible military film written by amateur(s), directed by amateurs, wasted by a bunch of actors who just tried very hard to wear cool sunglasses, un-shaved faces with beard, special forces costumes and weapons, but none of them, including the sole survivor, looked as the real deal.
