Accurate and intense modern day warfare

Rating: 6/10 (20 January 2014)

The U.S. Navy Seals Special Forces are definitely represented as being ones not to tangle with in an armed conflict as this movie portrays. I liked this movie because it does a good job of this. And it also helps us to understand that not all Afgans have thrown in the towel with the Taliban. It gives some idea of the difficulty of knowing who to trust when faced with that scenario. Enemy and ally look the same externally as the Taliban wear no "uniforms" to distinguish themselves from noncom- batants. I was expecting more but the HBO miniseries "Band of Brothers" and "The Pacific" produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg is a tough act to follow.
