I thought the movie was intellectually interesting. But it was very self indulgent trying to make the audience feel for every single character. I get the dilemma. I get the stakes. I don't think it was necessary to hit me over the head with how I should be feeling about it all. I don't think that professional people get teary eyed over these matters. Professionals focus on the task at hand and carry it out. The time for emotion comes later. And this was not a movie about the sleepless nights after an ugly deed. That's another movie. All the weepy eyed participants up and down the chain of command was silly. I did like the movie but the self indulgence was a flaw. 3 stars. If I were a military person, I am pretty sure I would have lowered the score. If you want to see a gripping tense movie about a similar subject watch the Korean movie called Steel Rain. Great movie.

Watched it 2 years ago. Loved it then. Ambitious, but well played. I might watch it again tonight. That is the highest praise I can give a movie. If I want to watch it again, it is really good. Koreans really know how to tell a good story.

Great plot, a rich who done it? Fun characters played by terrific actors.
