It seems like the type of movie that will come and go which is too bad because it was decent. Not the best I've ever seen but purely entertaining for what it was. Liam Hemsworth is starting to look more like his brother Chris in his old age. Possibly the one disadvantage to the film because you look at Liam and you think Chris in those Extraction movies but this movie is not on that level.

Russel Crowe was amazing in this film. He did so much with so little. It was a part that felt like anyone could play but Crowe put on the acting muscles for this. I see why he's won an Oscar. He's not going to win one for this but he gave a charming performance that made the non-action parts more interesting Yeah man, truly sorry that this movie seems to be designed to go straight to the streaming services after a courtesy release. Never even heard about it just saw it pop up on my movie theatre app very suddenly when I wanted something to watch.

Well worth the time!

Movie scrapes the surface of ok with bouts of exaggeration and over the top situation. There is an active op which has gone horribly wrong, the soldiers and Commanding officer at the command center are engrossed in a basketball match like it was a frat house. Operative in imminent danger is trying to reach the command centre to abort the scheduled bombing and the only available mode of communication a landline, which nobody is answering and they even turn off the phone ringer. Really !!! In the real world that would be dereliction of duty which would be an automatic court martial with a serious punishment to go with it. Another instance, there is a bomb delivered by a drone where there is a huge ball of fire and all the bad guys die but the green turf is completely intact. No crater, no nothing. Next, there is a bunker busting bomb that goes off and all the bad guys lay dead or grievously wounded but the captured US Delta force soldiers miraculously are unhurt. Liam Hemsworth for most of movie is a bumbling, stumbling, wet behind the ears soldier. He gets captured and rescued, all of a sudden he turns into an ingenious soldier converting water bottle into a receiver for communication. Quite the transformation. You have to be extremely naive or stupid to overlook all of this. However the reason given by the producers of the movie, why the film didn't do too well is due to poor marketing. Believe me, you could have 24/7 ads on electronic billboards in Times square and on prime time tv yet, that wouldn't have saved this movie.

I'm not military, but I have military in my family and I know that never in a million years is the military going to go into a spec-op not knowing whether or not a new member of the team has ever done a halo jump, never mind the actual member hasn't even ever done it on a training mission.

Also a drone with IR surveying an LZ, cant see 500 fearless 'militia' with trucks and rocket launchers and trucks and rocket launchers surrounding the LZ that they magically knew where to be at that given time.

We've got F18's, Drones, Hellfire missiles raining down everywhere, and the untrained arabs/vietcong/russians just keep running into the line of fire without a care in the world!

Not to mention, truck eastbound, mounted patrol westbound, ok I'll just stand in the open chatting to command and then jump in the water at the last minute and not keep moving into the tree line!

Dale Dye will be spinning in his grave at the inaccuracies. Silly film.
