Review of 12 Strong (2018) by Sam W — 26 Jan 2018

A typical American war film with typical American heroics, characters, military tactics, heavy handed morals, winning against overwhelming odds and over the top explosions and combat scenes. The action scenes are well put together and the setting is used well, but the story is too fragmented and the relationship between the American Captain and the Afghan warlord could have been developed more.

Overall, the film is too "Hollywood" in its presentation to have any impact or credibility, even though it is based on true events.
