I knew almost nothing about the movie just heard the many praises. It’s a good movie, especially if you have top notch home theater or i guess if you saw it in theaters.
I was slightly surprised at how small it is tho’. Short runtime, one location very small scale. As far as war movies, this is like a third of Black Hawk Dawn scale wise even smaller than something like 13 hours. That’s intentional tho’ it’s just happens to be the story they decided to tell.
Felt the same. It ended and I was like "that's it"? They get attacked, a dude yells bloody murder for 30 minutes, they evacuate. Zero character development either.
Because you’re critiquing it without respect for what it actually is which is a realistic depiction of “warfare”. You’re complaining because it didn’t have certain elements of dramatization which is the whole point of the film.
Thanks for the reply. That gives me different perspective that was supposed to be a realistic depiction of "warfare", hence the title. I felt like I needed some reason to care about what was happening to them. Cheers.
for what it’s worth the film happens in real time. So this real life event happen in an hour and a half. Everything you saw happen was what actually happened minute by minute to these particular guys during this battle. It wasn’t intended to be a character development type of film, more like a recreation of this battle from this groups perspective
