Thanks for this review. 12 Strong is in my Netflix queue.

Thanks for posting.

Sounds like a solid movie. Don’t know if Amazon will offer it on Prime, so, I will just have to wait for the dvd to come out since I doubt the German kino will offer such a film.

“Nearly 45 f-words and about 25 s-words. Other profanities include ‘a—,’ ‘d—n,’ ‘h-—’ and ‘p-ss.’ God’s name is misused more than 15 times, most with the word “d—n” connected. Jesus’ name is abused 10 times.”

This is why I rarely go to the theaters. Even the “good” movies contain the Hollywood-obligatory blasphemies. At least Mel Gibson toned down some of this content for the video-release of Hacksaw Ridge.

Watching stuff produced by Hollywood these days is like eating a gourmet meal retrieved from a filthy dumpster. It’s quality, well-made stuff that’s been contaminated and ruined. Unfit for human consumption.

Good movie with very few technical flaws. The most obvious was the continuous shooting without reloading. The last battle scene somewhat stretched creditability. Wonderful settings and background. The Army bases and activity looked very realistic. The landscape certainly looked like Afghanistan but I have read it was filmed in Spain.

All in all, it is worth the admission price.
