Alicia I love this movie so much
Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
jacobson-2 Having served in Afghanistan and familiar with the geography of the movie there is the overall disappointment of not having anything filmed which is even close to the amazing topography of Mazir - I learned nothing about the beginnings of operation enduring freedom other than all this took place in the north - which I did not know. As well - I was not aware of this first effort in the US response to September 11 and the quasi collaborative approach to an attempt on Al Qaeda. Nice to know. Otherwise the plot is just a handwritten-on-a-napkin approach to a logistically complicated effort without any depth - Action! - special Forces Identified, 9/11 happens, sad goodbye to family, insertion to country, three campaigns to deliver air support, bad guy identified by killing women, good guy suffers sucking chest wound, bad guy gets it, everyone makes it out alive, warm hello to family, actual group photo during credits - scene! One hopes that eventually the likes of Spielberg, Stone, Kubrick and Coppola will bring their warcraft to these middle eastern operations - ( though we do have Three Kings, Zero Dark Thirty and Restrepo ) but this was never WWII or vietnam - this was "war during pokemon and Halo II" - a better story than 12 strong has been told by Phil Klay's "redeployment" and in such tales I believe we will find the seminal storylines of the Bush era wars.
antoniotierno Probably the most interesting aspect of the battle for Mazar-i-Sharif is the way it combines the 18th century equipment and tactics with state-of-the-art late 20th century weaponry. To that purpose, Nelson and his compatriots charge into battle on horseback, after calling in bombing runs from B52s cruising at 30,000 feet. The lack of psychological complexity and character development shouldn't bea factor to be held against 12 Strong, as the movie does a decent job at what it sets out and will likely please the target demographic (those who have appreciated other recent patriotic films like American Sniper and Lone Survivor). It's well made and, though not sufficiently deep , it gets to offer a salute to determination and braveness, and the importance of diplomacy in developing and cementing alliances. For those enjoying war films, especially those with an "old fashioned" style, 12 Strong offers two solid hours.
mansolo I was interested in the significance of the movie 12 Strong brave men and their story. Next to other war movies, Saving Private Ryan, Hurt Locker, Bravo Two Zero etc., this movie appeared too Hollywood'ish, I found myself looking away from the movie to do other things, it was just okay.
Boy_Wonder_88 The story starts off quick and not enough information is given to you about the characters. This happens throughout the whole story up until the end. I recommend this movie just because it's a true story but I think the script needs some work.
