Special Forces

Boy: At the back of my mind, this seems like a typical war movie to be, but what entice me is that fact that Special Forces was engaged instead of the typical Military Army we have seen so forces. Liken the idea of Special Forces from this movie to the SWAT mean we commonly have known, that is what really interest me. Imagine this, timing, teamwork, skills as well as sharpshooter shots, what do you expect more? Not often we get to see such shows, generally in Singapore. The sneaks preview were out one week prior but the fact that this movie is in both French and English (with a little bit of some Arabic or Afgan language) doesn't turn me off. We all have watched Korean movies yet not knowing what they were talking about but really, thank god for the lyrics.
Interestingly, the whole story revolves around a particular person. Saving this one and only person and yet most actually died in trying to save her alive seems to be an easy yet difficult tasks. The movie could have easily end, if not for the insertion of certain interruption to their amazingly thought plan. Sad to say, there aren't as many potrayal of the essence of Elite Special forces and what surprises me is the fact that there were more touching scenes than you can ever imagine. And yet, these touching moments did not ruin what the story is trying to tell. It typically brings me right in the shoes of those who fought in the movie, or even those actual warriors who fought in the Afgan war. War spares no one. Terror continues. It brings a new light to those who were new to that and brings a perspective to those who thought they understand. The only sad thing is the ending, just so I thought, until a minor twist changed it. 

Boy's Review: 4/5
