A fine movie not the best for Berry P. They didn’t do him well as an actor who acted in a really common war movie “Saving Private Ryan”and a good a mount of action ones … this character’ tactics from holding a gun to being protected is really rubbish let’s just blame it on the law budget ok, but really you could’ve given him the credit that he can do better than this a little bit of preparing pre-shooting the action scenes, he’s a great star and really talented but not the greatest in here. Also some plots were kinda unnecessary and some sceneries are wasted I ended up lost at the end, who is the bad guy? Why the book Shop lady wasn’t dead? That man was raging and angry apparently however he’s a special agent but he is a bad aimer … not a surprise I guess with such an outcome. Another point is that from the beginning I thought it was is a copy paste from the “The Equalizer” acted by the great Denzel Washington, some scenes are kinda similar, e.g the quite life routine, his love for books and tea, likes helping people, and watching for details ( but I didn’t want it to take attention thinking this is the lifestyle of every lay low special agent?) although if this is what the writer had it in mind they could’ve made a better and clearer version of what I had just watched. My 2 star rating is only for Berry Pepper and his style of acting and his usual calmness in the action situations, had he not been in this movie it was a lot more failure project.

Spoiler Alerts I didn’t understand most of the events I think it’s chaotic. we didn’t have a clear closure at all. I mean most of the characters statuses left anonymous to us especially the main character. I was in full confusion when they give up his services and let him go, I mean does the US army do that or any army, Navy Seal, Marine, upon my readings and information the US army doesn’t let go their army personnel without valid reasons, even if their injury is so obvious they have reports and they list the reasons for the soldier, hear I thought his team leader reported to the commander officers ( whoever those people were) that he tried to stall himself to go to tours with his team because he was afraid, if yes will it’s not there. Another point is that why were they in a compound building with another until but it looked like they weren’t supported. I understood that it was their own mission to go and complete but we’re they supposed to get the enough security I mean sending only 4 soldiers decreasing to 2 wasn’t convenient, the last attack scene they were uncovered alone in a an area surly dangerous, full of tangos, and unsecured roofs ( fatal mission to only this team), they were injured while the other team none of them were all good ( the movies is playing bias against this team or is it just this much of unfortunate?) big number of soldiers doing that last second mission unplanned and protecting each others while the other team is burning and dying outside UNREALISTIC! Still no support. The main character wasn’t trained enough to protect his teammate back come on! ( I get it, it is the plot ) but why was he qualified by professionals to be in a battle field? How can someone explain! Do some respect ppl to your Army personnel at least those movies mostly are done cautiously and persistently even if it’s a true story, the movies are made to praise the sacrifices of who were/ are putting themselves in danger, there’s not done only for fam and money. My 2 star rating is for portrayal of what life was like in the Iraq War, it did a great job to let us see how both sides are doing there job at every chance they got. Oh and also JORDANIAN flags were all over the place what happened to editing ppl!! Come on My main question is since it is based on a “true story” to what extent did this movies portray the true version?
