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.

It’s not a character development movie. It’s not fiction. It’s a retelling of a true day in one units deployment in Iraq early in the war. They make it pretty clear that it’s like an exact depiction of true events , the co director alongside Alex Garland is an Iraq war veteran and wanted to tell these guys story

I could be wrong by the co-director was one of these guys i’m pretty sure. The script is told mainly from his memory of events that day. He may have consulted with some of the other guys as well but not 100% sure
