Its good....but not amazing..but good

Rating: 7/10 (28 May 2017)

It starts off like any other grand American propaganda style US military movie. Enter the tall, good looking white male protagonist against the crappy third world foreign nation who deserve a war they never asked for.
The underlying political narrative that the movie plays on really hits home towards the middle. I felt it was a bit slow to start with, but it does grip you enough to get through it.
The end felt a bit lacking, the whole movie was building up to a grand finale which never really came. It kind of fizzled out.
Nonetheless it has a few jokes, intermingled with the bleakness of fighting an insurgency. It does provide a sort of "anti- propaganda"message that the far right will probably look down on in disdain, so i can see some emotionally charged reviews coming.
Overall a good watch and a good conversation topic.
