Based on the memories of the surviving guys of a SEAL Team, this film will sour the most ardent "Call of Duty" warrior on the subject of combat.

There is the lull before the storm, but then the storm unleashes high-volume destruction and the wailing of wounded men who can't shut up. It is a mess for both the eyes and ears.

At the end, we see the real SEALs and their corresponding players. There were no real winners in the 2006 Ramadi, Iraq action.

Booms, bangs, and loud wailing from the wounded make a movie hard to sit through. Anti-war message received loud and clear.

My son was there. Not a Seal, but a platoon leader with 19th Mountain in the Sunni Triangle. Not sure I want to see it.

 

Sounds just like Black Friday at Target. Nt, posted on April 16, 2025 at 08:57:44

Viet Nam vet here. I've never been able to watch any of the subsequent Viet Nam war movies. Had to walk out on an early one of the type, The Deer Hunter.
