An overestimated film

Rating: 6/10 (31 October 2017)

After seeing the high score and the abundance of people who scored the film, I curiously downloaded and watched the film. However, I didn't get touched after that. In my own perspective, this film is totally overestimated. It was just like the Turkish "Saving Private Ryan", except for its mediocre story.
At the beginning of the film, the details are great: the time between pulling the trigger and the head shot; killing the moving targets; the individual weapons; the scenes of explodes. However, at the ending, it became careless. The model tank and the shifts of scenes form explosions, which made me consider whether the film crew was that poor. The last battle seemed to be unrealistic, which was a dozen of soldiers fighting against hundreds of terrorists, but since it was a movie which expressed the patriotic theme and self- sacrifice of soldiers, I could accept it.
The thing is that the development of the story is so confusing. This film uses two story lines, one is the rescue task, the other is the training process. This method can be interesting, but every time when I wanted to continue watching the story, it was always unexpectedly interrupted by another story line, which made me lose the focus. The story was still an old class: soldiers were ordered to save a reporter who was going to be persecuted by terrorists. When they were going to return to their base, a village consisted with elders, children and women was threatened by the terrorists. After some conflicts, the soldiers decided to save them. The other line of training showcased the toughness of those trained soldiers, the scars in their minds and the real life they need to deal with, which should be touching, but it made audience(or at least me) feel nothing(maybe because I didn't watch the "Dag Ⅰ").
The characters are also, well, not annoying, but someone I didn't like. The reporter, who was rescued but blamed those soldiers all the time, really made me wordless. She didn't even realize the life of others and always wanted to be the one who would save the world. At some moments, I really hoped that she was killed by the terrorists. The soldiers, however, were much better. Though it still followed the traditional story that someone had to die to save others, due to the link with their relatives and life, it did moved me somehow. But it still couldn't make up the weak story.
Except for the partially brilliant details, provoking musics and the eligible battle scenes, this overestimated-patriotic military film is totally not worth watching.
