Not terrible, just boring and predictable

Rating: 6/10 (2 August 2017)

Maybe my expectations were too high or I REALLY wanted another "Hurt Locker". It is also likely that it was just too soon to make this movie. The real events are so current and well known for a feature film. Looking back on it now, I'm not surprised they ended up with something resembling bad TV documentary. Just like some TV shows, I remember thinking all though the film, "something interesting is going to happen". Nothing ever did and in the end I was offended more than anything else. If this story is trying to be faithful to actual events, then there really wasn't enough material for them to begin with. Which is why I suspect writers REALLY had to try and insert some drama and human interest into this script. It all came off as forced and unbelievable to me. By the time the actual raid was presented it was massively anticlimactic for me (and I suspect for most viewers. I mean unless you live on the moon, you pretty much know everything that is going to happen in the last few minutes of the film don't you)? So... I would recommend you skip this unless maybe you're stuck in a hospital bed for the evening and you've already seen every other show that is available. (i.e. I can't understand any reviews that praise this film).
