Storyline

Battle-scarred and disillusioned by the war, Corporal Chris Merrimette is put in charge of a unit whose next mission is to resupply a remote outpost on the edge of Taliban-controlled territory. While driving through the hostile Helmand province, a Navy SEAL flags down their convoy and enlists the unit on an operation of international importance: they must help an Afghan woman famous for her defiance of the Taliban escape the country. Without tanks or air support, Merrimette and his team will need all the courage and firepower they can muster to fight their way across the war-torn country and shepherd the woman to safety.

Surprisingly Excellent
12 August 2014 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

I recently got a chance to see this at a screening and it is surprisingly excellent. I say surprisingly because I never expect too much from a film I know isn't going to be released in theaters, so I figured it would be another addition to the saturated war film DVD market. Not at all. It reminded me a lot of the slow tension builds of The Hurt Locker and Lone Survivor, where the audience knows action is coming, but the character build up allows us to care about the team members who come under fire once the fighting begins.

The actors are all quite good, with a special nod given to Bokeem Woodbine, Danielle Savre and Cole Hauser. The team has a great rapport and the humor is sprinkled in in appropriate doses. While not all of the jokes are hit their mark exactly, the lines delivered by Woodbine are laugh out loud funny, which helps lighten the mood in a film that has an incredible amount of heart.

Well done all around, and proof that not all great films make it to the big screen.
