Review: Secret armies. Ninja-women. Super-powered suits. I live for this stuff.

What starts as a very-grounded military thriller in the last days of the Afghanistan operation ends up in a very different place. I'll try to avoid too many spoilers because part of the fun of Olympus Rises is watching the story escalate.This is what the GI Joe movies should have been like. The action is intense and the characters feel heroic. There is a cinematic feel to Roberts writing and every military element feels well-researched and genuine.If you're looking for a well-written, high-adrenaline adventure, you've found it.
