En los días posteriores al 11-S, un equipo de Fuerzas Especiales estadounidense comandado por el capitán Mitch Nelson (Chris Hemsworth) es elegido para ser los primeros soldados americanos en responder al ataque. El equipo es trasladado a las remotas y yermas tierras del norte de Afganistán, donde deberán convencer al general Abdul Rashid Dostum (Navid Negahban) para unir fuerzas y luchar contra su adversario común: los talibanes y Al Qaeda. Para ello, los americanos deberán adoptar las tácticas de los soldados afganos a caballo y aprender a respetarse y confiar entre ellos ante un enemigo despiadado que les supera en número y no hace prisioneros.

This year's second visit to the cinema. Another modern war flick set in Afghanistan, where a 12-strong group of soldiers are tasked with taking down the Taliban with the help of an Afghan warlord. In terms of the cast, the film is packed: Chris Hemsworth, Michael Shannon, Michael Peña, and for a debut it has very solidly executed action scenes, with explosions like Michael Bay, plenty of rawness and the combination of horses with M4s against tanks has something going for it. I'm not as intense as 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, but still a decent affair that I enjoyed in the cinema. 75%

Thor and General Zod on horseback against the Taliban. A well-made, textbook example of a movie, but nothing more. No personal angle. In his debut, Fuglsig offers nothing extra. It’s simply glorification of the American way of making war (let’s drop bombs no them). But the horse vs. tank action scenes are well-made and raw. Just a shame that we don’t learn much about the Uzbek general.

This time, Vinnetou and Old Shatterhand fight together against evil tribes far away in Afghanistan, supported by spectacular, visually elaborate Bruckheimer-like effects. At times a parody, at times a poorly made war film. If it's really based on a true story, then it deserves a much more raw, believable treatment.
