Review of 12 Strong (2018) by Michaela91 — 10 May 2018
A solid movie presenting historical truth in an actually entertaining manner. Extremely worth watching as the subject matter is more relevant today than it's ever been.
I was pleasantly surprised by Chris Hemsworth's performance, I've never been a fan of his until seeing him in this movie, this being said, a few of the secondary characters and most extras give pretty weak performances and while I wouldn't say they had any comically bad scenes, I did feel let down by how some parts were played.
If you're watching this because you want a war movie full of explosions and rambo shooting everyone then this one isn't for you, the action scenes are much more grounded than in most action movies and the pressure in them feels more genuine. You won't enjoy this movie much if you're the kind of person who pretends to be an ostrich and sticks his head in the sand pretending the real world doesn't exist, but if you're a realist you'll love this movie.
