I can highly recommend this film to anyone who can handle the intensity of a gruesome war film. The film starts slow and is filled with typical tough guy war banter and then the intensity jumps dramatically as the film re-creates a real story for Afganistan where soldiers are trapped in a minefield. Gripping, intense, sad, fierce and powerful. It is not a political film, but will get you to think deeply about the wars of the middle East and how we fight them.
A very well made film that often feels like a documentary. Flawless filming and acting to make you feel there.
This film is NOT for everyone. This film is quite gruesome and captures the reality of land mines.
NOTE: The heavy British accents required us to turn on captions.
I wanted to score the film an 8.5, but upgraded to a 9 based on powerful filming, intensity, real-ness and solid acting.
