Astonishing

Rating: Null/10 (2 January 2014)

I expected much worse from this war movie from the USA. And I was damn wrong. This is a sort of equivalent of the french film FORCES SPECIALES, released in 2011, telling the story of a lost patrol in Afghanistan. From actual events.
In this film, there is the most terrific sequence of downhill falling down for a human being among rocks. I was shaking on my seat. All long their long downfall, I wondered: WHEN THE HELL WILL THEY AT LAST FINISH THEIR FALL INTO HELL?
Terrific.
Mark Wahlberg character is interesting, especially when he goes berserk in the natives' house and threatens them all to explode himself, even in the presence of a little boy. Interesting and unforeseeable behavior for a good American soldier. very realistic. I loved that scene too.
A must see.
