A Star Wars Dirty Dozen movie

Rating: 8/10 (21 May 2017)

Without going into details, this was a refreshing and enjoyable departure from the main Star Wars films. It plays more like a war movie (think The Dirty Dozen, the Guns of Navarone, A Bridge too Far or even The Magnificent 7) than a sci-fi genre movie, especially when compared to the rest of the series. Characters have flaws, things go wrong and no one is truly a hero for most of the film. If you are looking for a fun, well-made action movie with human characters (even the nonhuman ones) placed in a science fiction setting, this is the movie for you. Even if you aren't a Star Wars fan, if you enjoyed any of those movies I listed above, you'll enjoy this one.
