A surprisingly entertaining and enjoyable movie based on modern warfare.
I'm not usually a fan of war movies, but with a cast including Liam Hemsworth and Russell Crowe I gave it a chance, and I am glad I did.
It's your typical good guys vs bad guys movie, with the obligatory fighting, bombs and action which in general work quite well.
However this movie relies heavily on modern warfare tactics, with drones, eye in the sky, and missiles which adds something a little different.
The acting is quite good, and although some of the characters are somewhat stereotypical and lack imagination, but not enough to spoil the movie.
The plot is a little over the top, unrealistic, has a few unlikely turns, but its an action movie at heart, and this allows the writers free reign over the plot.
It's never going to compete with the likes of Saving Private Ryan, but was likely never intended to do so.
It's a fun movie watch, that doesn't challenge the viewer too much.!
