Just wanted to watch the film because of Frank Grillo and definitly worth watching because of him! What an amazing actor!!! The film is not amazing but it's good. Frank Grillo makes the movie worth watching, because in the overall the story is good but the cast don't match the type of story, could be a lot better with different cast.
Frank Grillo & Anthony Mackie are the ones that makes the film good, so i recommend just because of them!
I would say that the movie is a little bit short because they rush some things in the story that they could go more in deep and get more not just from Frank and Anthony but from Christian Cooke for example. The film starts already in a rush because of the crime and everything is fast and you don't know what is happening and who did what to who and who is the bad guy or who are the good guys, is a little messy, they could improve more, but i get it what they tryed to do, i just think they could show more in detail about the characters, for example the past from Mateo (Christian Cooke) and Abe (Frank Grillo).
The film is just 1h and 10 minutes, and more 10 minutes for the credits... If the film was around 2 hours would be enough to go in detail with some characters. I'm not hating, i liked the movie thats why im sayng that, because i would love to see more!
If you want lots of action in a war movie, you will love this movie because 80% of it is WAR! Definitely is in my top 5 of the best movies.
Apart from all the action, this true story is shocking and sad, this guys should have had more recognition at the time. The phrase "Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die" fits perfectly in this movie.
It has fascinated me. I do not understand why so many people did not like it, it is a film of a singular and reasonable story which not only presents the drama and action of the war from a personal perspective and without presenting the typical excessive emphasis on the drama and horror of the war that has been projected since Band of Brothers but also presents the mundane and civil in reference to the diversity of tasks that are submitted to the combat corps given the situation of politics, human-civil and territorial condition on the battlefield, I understand that manages to subtly involve the sense of realism balancing all aspects of war operations without much drama or action but in a more practical and objective way without and all that also without excluding a very good amount of the accion and drama that characterize a good war movie.
A new way, but not now. It's ok, a bit overvalue by critics. The movie itself is 5/10, same Netflix normal content. The "visionary" way of seeing movies its pretty cheap, and you only get one end. If you choose wrong its a death end, going to see more 5/10 min and it start again "the story", so the "you choose" end, its not like that. But great marketing from Netflix.
For me, if they create a database (probably already made it) of choices, can create a good script for new movie.
I really enjoyed it, but I'm also a sucker for these kind of movies. Since Taken, Neeson has become one of my favorite actors in the action genre, and he sure as hell didn't disappoint this time either :)
