My title is pretty much my review. This movie has so much potential for a good story.. but.. the 3 of us that watched it had no idea what the movie was trying to tell after it was over.. it sucked!

Barely a 2 and I won't be buying it. OK, where do I start? First and foremost, I believe that this movie gave very little technical realism to the military side of the equation. Once again, we're portrayed as macho idiots (or lambs) that are saluting smartly and doing the bidding of senseless Republican war-mongers who do "whatever it takes." The technical aspects of the military mission were laughable. Anyone that falls or jumps out of a helicopter 100 feet above mountainous terrain is going to DIE. Yet, one of our college heroes falls out and the other jumps out so that "no man is left behind" and they survive the fall into a snow bank on a flat part of the mountain pass. Next, Hollywood shows us that we can see our good guys with the bad guy "Talies" approaching via satellite imagery through a blinding snow storm at night...right. So, we watch our intrepid heroes fight off some of the advance of some 20-30 enemy while having little or no terrain as cover. Why are our heroes not killed outright?....We are told that the Taliban want to take them alive. OK, maybe plausible, but unlikely. Next, our A-10 support arrives and bombs the crap out of the FLOT (forward line of troops) at least two or three times. Initially our heroes hope that all have been vanquished, but then suffer further small arms fire from the dark only yards away. What do they decide? Do they decide to try to hold on for what everyone knows will be the rescue attempt? NOOOOOO. Damn it. They stand up and go out in a suicide blaze of fire because they believe all is lost. CRAP! Seconds later the remaining Taliban are exterminated in the final A-10 pass and the rescue helicopter only a couple of minutes away. I was so angry I could spit. The rest of the movie is what you would expect from Robert Redford, another lecture on his view of American politics and right wing wrongs. Where do these people get their military technical consultation, the Salvation Army?

If you want to listen to typical politically correct Hollywood garbage about how minorities are so ignored and how horribly they're treated by our government, so they enlist in the service and risk their lives, then watch this movie. If not, don't bother. The plot, if you can call it that, goes no where. It's boring. And it's loaded with outright lies! For instance, the majority of whites (75-80%)have died in the Middle East not blacks and hispanics (8-10%)! So why do ALL these whites go into the service? That's never answered by the PC scriptwriter, with the political agenda. It's also never addressed that minorities get many special grants, etc. to subsidize their college, especially in California, when white students have to pay or take out student loans if they don't get regular scholarships. Certainly no one in Hollywood would make a movie about that. Or how most victims of crimes are white. Certainly no PC Hollywood writer would write a screenplay about the recent bunch of white college girls by black men. Do some research instead of buying the scriptwriter's political agenda. I also wonder about Redford's, Streep's and Cruise's political agendas after watching this movie. What do they care about us average folks? They're filthy rich! They're out to promote their own selfish interests. They don't live in the same world we all do. This was a total disappointment and waste of my time. After this movie, I doubt I'll watch another Redford movie again. He's had a wonderful career. What happened to the wonderful movies of his past? I guess that's where they are, in his past. Don't bother with this piece of garbage. To quote the movie, "It's not worth it." You could be doing so much more with your time and attention; for instance, reading up on the real truth!

This movie is garbage. Redford, Streep and Cruise should be ashamed to act in such a lame movie. The script was awful and boring and packed with lies! Just typical PC Hollywood BS which is a waste of time to even watch. If you do watch it, do a little research on what these characters are spewing out as "truth." It's amazing that people watch movies and then readily believe the garbage and lies that the characters speak and easily accept them as truth without even reading up on the subject at hand. I guess that just shows how lazy and stupid the majority of this population is; and we all know who the majority of the population is, those dying in the wars throughout history in this country. Those who will give up everything and hand over everything because the media creates guilt and makes them feel pity for every other being on this planet except for themselves. Very pitiful.

I can't believe three huge stars performed in this movie, and Redford directed! I am a big Redford fan and Streep fan, but this was a bit too much. None of these stars researched the information in the script to see if any of it was fact??? Is everyone in Hollywood stupid and uneducated or just simply lazy? Perhaps the terrorists should bomb it instead! That would be poetic justice. The statistics about men in the armed services stated as fact by Redford's character was ridiculous and over dramatized. Men and women go into the service to pay for college, for a job because there are very few these days, to make a career, patriotism, etc., and the vast majority are white and have been throughout history. The political correctness Hollywood tries to portray is very annoying. You can't alter facts and expect us to eat it all up and not think or research for ourselves. The messages these film corporations try to send out all have their own political agenda for their own gain. The script writer is an idiot, and I certainly don't care to watch anymore of his movies. I am not a moron, and it angers me to see that his lies are being viewed by many people who probably won't check the facts out for themselves. The statistics are that 75% - 80% of whites have died in the Middle East while only 8% - 10% of minorities have died (blacks and hispanics). Talk about distorting the truth! Garbage like this is insulting! Don't even bother watching it! It makes me wonder just what Cruise, Redford and Streep are up to by acting in this movie which is packed with lies!
