It feels like a movie designed to evoke positive emotions, clearly aimed at American viewers. It manages to hit all the expected notes regarding military duty and dedication, even when dealing with frustrating obstacles like official procedures and apathy. However, it’s only toward the conclusion, when the small print is revealed—the staggering number of interpreters (over 300) and their families who lost their lives—that you begin to grasp the extent of America's failure to support those who worked alongside it in Afghanistan. The central question that comes to mind is whether the U.S. should have initiated the invasion initially. Considering the evidence, the answer seems to be a clear "no." A great deal of the suffering and devastation portrayed in this film likely could have been prevented if the United States had remained within its own boundaries. The movie itself demonstrates quality in its production values, acting, and direction. The narrative connects with audiences on a human level. The action sequences are also well-crafted, though not always entirely believable. I couldn't help but smile knowingly at how the antagonists, as is so often the case, appear to be remarkably poor marksmen, even when heavily armed, numerous, and positioned close by. Overall, it features strong performances, skilled direction, a moving story, and plenty of mostly absorbing action. Nevertheless, the historical truth remains that the U.S. was an invading force in Afghanistan, so perhaps the key lesson to be learned is the necessity of bringing an end to unnecessary conflicts.
