Indescribable… correct me if I’m wrong because I don’t have the experience to know…
I think this is the most realistic war film ever made, again, correct me if I’m wrong.
I’m not gonna go too deep, what really shines here is the authenticity and the performances given.
It’s not a long movie, I’ve had the privilege to experience this in IMAX and it genuinely scared the living shit out of me.
It got too real, I don’t say that about many films.
I’m genuinely frightened, I’m not going to review it negatively though, it’s not how it works, these movies challenge you to reflect and live inside memories, they are the true expression of cinema itself.
I hated every single second in the field because I know this happened, it’s important for us to understand this.
I hope I’m expressing myself clearly, I loved it, it’s masterfully done, the cinematography is simple but challenging, the story is taken exactly by the memories of the ones involved, this is how you do a film inspired by real events. The fact that I hated when they were in the field, goes to show how well made this is.
It’s not cool, no one had to show a Hollywood face, this was art imitating life at its finest, when you step out of a typical action movie you think about how cool it was, this wasn’t cool, this was frightening. WAR IS FRIGHTENING.
And there is no shame in cool action movies, but we need more of this, we need more of real life in our content.

8.3 - Harrowing, gut-wrenching, violent, unflinching. As anti-modern war as I believe any filmmaker would be allowed to make in Hollywood.
The audience is forcefully shoved into intense, volatile, & ultimately unnecessary chaos right away, and never allowed a moment to breathe until the credits roll.
The actors all perform admirably, each committing to the singular message throughout to care for the man beside you, & damn anything & anyone else. And that is a hard pill to swallow.
Beyond performances, it’s incredibly well done in all technical elements, & while not as visually striking at all times as Alex Garland’s Civil War was, it did provide some of the most flawless, emotionally shaking sound design I’ve ever experienced.
Does it truly show the depth of horror committed by the US military in Iraq? No. But again, I’m not sure anything more could receive US distribution, & I truly believe all involved parties did their best to portray a small but horrifying story as accurately as they could.
The public discourse will undoubtedly be terrible. The number of people who will judge this without viewing it will be high. But for anyone who hated Garland’s Civil War for its “lack of a stance” (which I disagree with), I don’t know how you can walk away from this one with the same opinion.
I will likely never watch this again, & I do need a palate cleanser. But it was worth my time.

Horrifying.
That was the realest depiction of war dude! The movie takes you through every moment of this battle/extraction. You can tell everyone that was a part of this cared deeply about what they were doing.
Definitely one of my favorite if not my FAVORITE war movie

Quite a bit different than your typical war flick. It doesn’t really have a traditional story line either. But the story we get is slower upfront and then the last bit is action packed. Definitely feel for the guys as this is based on true events. I think it’s a one and done tho.
