    At some moments you feel lost

    At middle of the movie you can feel lost, the connections between making memories with each other and the tank attack is noticeable and you feel this separation. That's why I found it 90% boring and extra long for such story.

    Poor plot with a lot of pyrotechnics

    Completely overrated. This movie is not better than a second class Hollywood war movie. The script is so poor, it's appalling. Pyrotechnics must represent half of the film's budget!

    This was marvelous

    Box-office movie, action, some fun, sacrifice and real drama.

    The true story of being a soldier.

    For all ages as no extreme violence, and easy language to follow.

    Disappointing !

    The hype was unfortunately unreal, i got mixed feelings because i really wanted to like this movie but they made it really hard with bad narration, poor character building and robotic conversations, the soundtrack was horrible could've been much much better, didn't want to be harsh judging this movie but it's really a big disappointment for me.

      During the airstrike, as the (jet powered) F16s are shown from the ground, the sound is the very different one of approaching high performance propeller aircraft, like a WW2 bombing raid.
