Pure unadulterated propaganda
I acknowledge many will disagree, indoctrinated as they are, but I imagined this movie about the human detritus of imperialism would put at least some effort into accuracy.
Instead we got hollywood excess where every amerikan bullet killed 99% of afghani bullets missed and each firefight of which there was too many to be believable ended with piles of dead 'taliban' aka freedom fighters and whatever imperialist deaths were only of 'decent chaps' doing their best.
There was no suspense by the end of act 3 you would have had to be blind, deaf and extremely stupid not to know the cavalry were about to turn up.
In fact is most resembled a 1960's western about how the decent amerikans killed maximum numbers of indigenous americans, then the bugles sounded as the forces of 'good' on horseback arrived in the nick of time to slaughter the women & children.
Not a film for anyone who cares about all human beings, not just the ones a mob of greedy & egoist politicians tell you are the heroes. - weec - 11 May 2024
Amazing! Great flick....
In the ruthless world of cinema critique, this film undoubtedly takes its place on the throne of edge-of-your-seat thrillers. It's not just good; it's brilliant, a cinematic gem that captivates from start to finish.
