Review of 12 Strong (2018) by Eludiumq36 — 16 Apr 2018
If you like military historicals, then this is fine. I had two problems to note: the first is that they've got Rob Riggle (better known for comedic roles) playing the serious role of Col. Bowers. If he's trying to break into action/drama, fine, but this wasn't the film to do that, IMHO.
Second, a film of 2 hrs doesn't do justice to material like this. This story should be a mini-series at least. There's a LOT going on in the month following 9/11 and squeezing into 2 hrs gives important events short shrift.
Outside of those two things, the film was decent enough, full of good ole American bravado which may have been over-dramatized but whatever, it's entertaining and educational enough.
