Was a pretty good movie if you like the realistic ones. The little shots of authenticity on the food, culture, combat, equipment was good. About my only gripe was two things- the shooting the IED's with rounds and the ending. You'd think they would've learned their lesson the first time that not having the air or ground QRF to help you out was asking for that ending. It was poor planning on their part but good writing on the writers, since I wasn't expecting them to [spoiler]basically kill everyone. [/spoiler] Of course that's not saying much since they literally only had one fire team of four out alone that was 20-30 minutes away from any sort of QRF. Overall though I think the movie lacked a strong narrative point which made it dry at times and a feeling of aimless. The clash between the Ghost and BDK held my attention but the resolution was definitely a bit unsatisfying.

Would only recommend this movie if you just want to see what combat in Afghanistan (in a dramatic setting as one fire team out alone against 30 was very unrealistic) was like or some of the culture.
