The movie look a lot as The Way Back, à la Française, is more survival than action, and enjoyable to watch except these French air force promotion the first minutes.

It really start while the journalist (Diane Kruger as Elsa) is kidnapped by the Talibans. Then the French government decide to take her back with a black force team. Operation was success but they can't reach the extract point : they are now hunted.

Special forces take place in amazing landscapes and mix different genres from action to survival.

Looking the making of, actors were set in real Afganistan conditions, land of generations of war, sometimes shoot by the camera while they were not acting but just suffering harsh weather conditions. The acting was natural and the most realistic possible. No action heroe here, only man's.
