This shyt right here is like a movie adaptation of COD: Modern Warfare except somehow with even less interesting characters. The true story tells the tale of the deathliest American outpost in Afghanistan, which was set up in the worst possible strategic position (a valley surrounded by mountain ridges). The soldiers are shot at daily by the Taliban and improving contact with the locals becomes hard with rotating commanders applying different strategies. Hell breaks loose when the Taliban launch an enormous attack.
It's probably because they stuck true to the real soldiers that most of the characters end up flat and largely sounding the same (a bunch of macho 'hooah' shyttalkers). For all of its action it doesn't really do much with it, there is some solid suspense her and there but the movie also telegraphs its moments a lot and with so much interchangeable characters it's hard to care for these no-names (who are all named explicitly in the hope you might remember). The only thing I got from this movie is that Scott Eastwood starts to look more and more like his dad with every passing day. Also in a small role is Milo Gibson (Mel's son) but he looks a lot less like his dad.
No Samuel L Jackson?
