I’d like some feedback on blood, gore, for the squeamish.
I’d like to see it, but others are reluctant.
It doesn’t pull any punches on the combat part of it. In terms of gore, there aren’t a lot of entrails or rivers of blood. I would tell the squeamish to take a chance and see the movie. There is a point to the movie and Americans need to understand it.
If you want to see it go see it. Let the others see a different movie. Problem solved
There are some clear scenes of the result of torture (aftermath, not during) which underscore the brutality of the enemy.
They are not throughout the movie, just in a few spots and they are consistent with the story line at that time.
You can see far more brutality, blood and gore in any number of R rated movies with less relevance IMHO.
I would suggest if someone was squeamish (and I don’t knock that) that someone else they trust see the movie and give them a review.
I do suggest that parents see the movie before pre-teens or young teens.
The movie portrays the military in an honest light and I do think it is valuable for teens who have been exposed to Avatar to see this movie.
There is bravery, compassion and humanity in this movie, just like real people are (and of course there are non-actor real people in it, being like themselves).
I will see it again and buy the blu-ray when it comes out.
The movie is 2 and 1/2 hours long and I was surprised when it was at the end. It kept my unwavering interest.
It’s a military movie, so what do they expect? Yes there is blood and gore, but tell them to look away. The squeamish folks need to understand what we are up against, not just by words. They need to get mad at the enemy rather than squeamie. But then that’s just me.
You go and then tell them what you think.
Lots.
Good guys jack up bad guys with extreme prejudice.
It. Was. Awesome.
