A slow start until the operation starts, however, then it is non-stop action. The switching between the front-line and the bosses back at base was well done.

This is one of MANY violent, speechifying war films that spawned from the rubble of success that was Saving Private Ryan. But with great visuals and a refreshingly simple story, it stands above many of the others. Overarching stories and complex war themes? Not really. Instead, it's just wall-to-wall excitement and drama, with a seemingly endless cast of cusp-of-stardom young actors.

Just like most the reviews on here say it's a great action flick with a great presentation and has some really great actors amazing to see in a movie like this. Great movie for Americans and seeing what our soldiers go through in battle. But wait everyone hates Americans these days right?? Us Americans have a lot of stories like this to make great movies about so I'm sorry if your boring ass country doesn't. Lol but bring on all the American hate! I can see it coming from a mile away which is the main reason I'm writing this review. American propaganda! Blah blah blah wa wa wa. Cry like the little babies you are. Lol us American don't have any hate like that tworads your little bitch ass country because why?? Oh yeah we could give a fuk about you or where your from. So shut up and enjoy the movie or go watch your soaps, BBC or whatever you like. All you cry babies out there just make me laugh. You hate Americans so much then do something about it bitch

many Americans pay a steep price for their war injuries even if they never served a day in combat. Their 'combat' was as the child of a strict, PTSD injured father, such as Sam Sheperd's was. WE may never know what that estrangement cost Sam but some of his plays indicate the awful coldness he suffered.We have stuck our noses into so many places we had no business in. I wonder why it is that Steve Bannon of all people, the harbinger of death ALSO doesn't want us in these places. I understand why. Why those guys had to die in Mogadishu is a mystery to me and anybody who watches this. Has a biography of Shepherd been written to explain the relationship between The Buried Child, a completely dysfunctional family, Sam's father's war experience and Sam's childhood?Excellent movie if you want to see the Hell and inhumanity of war. i've seen enough for one life, and this 5 time tax evader in the White House will get us into yet another war. Let's pray we don't have to witness nuclear war as this madman seems to think perfectly possible.
