12 Strong (12猛漢) is an 2018 film. The movie stars Chris Hemsworth, Michael Shannon, and Michael Peña. The supporting cast include Navid Negahban, Trevante Rhodes, Geoff Stults, and Elsa Pataky. The movie is based on a true story around the 911 attacks.
A group of soldiers whom have been training together is recently disbanded due to the members wanting a more family oriented lifestyle. When the September 911 attacks happen, the recently disbanded group wants to get back together and go do something. They end up in Uzbekistan to look for the Taliban in northern Afghanistan. The 12 men face obstecles all along the way. In a roughly three week span, they help to weaken the Taliban and bring home all 12.
This movie was long. Way long. The battle scenes were intense and you see the dangers that the men faced. But I had little time to connect with the main group and the main group ran through the enemy seemly easily by war movie standards. Lots of explosions in general. Lots of enemy deaths. The mission was successful, but the movie was long.
Not sure I would recommend this one over other recent war movies. I will not be watching this one again. Luckily I got it during T-Mobile Tuesday's free Redbox rental deal. I might be upset if I had to pay for this.
