Patriotic B.S. yet I can't deny that it's very enjoyable to watch.

Why in the hell can Michael Bay not bring this kind of intensity and emotion to every film that he directs??? Seriously, the best work that Bay has ever done, bringing everything that nobody knew he had to the table and laying it all out there. He needs to forget about the 50 'Transformers' sequels and start focusing more on films like this.

An intense movie that will keep you on your toes. Great acting, great script, immersive camera work and music, believable characters.This movie has it all for its genre. Not for the faint of heart, but a truly, truly fantastic film.

I don't read books to then critic the movie, nor do I watch movies for their factual or historic accuracy so I wouldn't know if this was true or accurate in any way. That said I watch movies to be entertained and this movie certainly does that. Its well acted and the action scenes are very believable, I really enjoyed this movie hence the 10, I am so glad they didn't ruin it with some big box office star.
