I absolutely love the movie, I haven't read the book but I've seen A LOT of other reviews here that share their disappointment w/ this movie. I haven't read or heard of this novel so this was a first timer for me. I feel like you haven't read the novel beforehand then you should be good! If you have, oh well lol. I loved the action, the actors, the plot, the entire movie was a memorable experience to say the least. I honestly think if you didn't read the book watch it, if you did don't waste your time watching it it's as simple as that. Also to the people that are pissed the navy seal commander was a GIRL, deal with it. And Michael B. Jordan being the lead role in the movie was like THE cherry on top.
