When I see that a movie is based on a true story I always tend to watch it with a little bit of a different feeling. I tend to look more to what might actually be real and what might be exaggerated to make the movie look better.

This story of this movie is rather simple: a squad of 4 men have the mission to assassinate a terrorist leader, however they run into a couple of goat herders. They have a tough decision to make: either kill the goat herders and continue their mission (risking that the American army might get denigrated by the press, I.e American soldiers kill innocent children). Or they can let the goat herders go and risk that they will compromise their position.

The decision the soldiers make is crucial for this movie, because when they make the decision to let the herders go, all hell brakes loose. What follows is a series of gunfights where the Americans kill dozens of terrorist while falling down from quite some heights rolling down hills etc.

I do not believe that all of this happened in real life, they were all shot so many times and then falling from such heights, they could've never survived that. Also they killed many terrorist in this movie, I do not believe that you can kill 40+ terrorist with 4 man.

Even though I assume that much of this movie is over-dramatized, it's still a touching story of a squad of soldiers that make sacrifices to rescue each other.

Verdict: The story is a bit dull, much shooting and drama, but touching none the less. Probably a lot is over dramatized but it's still filmed and acted in a nice way.

I rate this movie a solid 6.

This is truly one of the best, if not the best, TV-shows I have ever seen. It mixes great drama with powerful action. The actors are all very well casted and their performances are topnotch! The storyline is very fresh from other TV series, of course we all know that George R.R. Martin kills a lot of main characters but that is what makes the series different, there are still lots of unexpected plot twists and great dialogues in this series. The only thing what keeps me from rating this series a 10 is the fact that they change directors every few episodes, all directors are great but they film in a different way therefor making each episode with a different director slightly "different" than the others.

But this is still one of the best series ever made and I will encourage everyone to see it!

This movie has the right to be #1 in the top 250 from IMDb. Meta's have given it a 100/100 rating and the users have given it a solid 9,2. This film has been made with exceptional eye for detail and great artistic performances. You have to listen very well and keep concentrated every second of this film, because everything seen and heard appears to be a vital bit of information. It is the best movie ever made, with some of the best actors to have ever lived. Marlon Brando is a triple-A class actor and he shows it in this masterpiece. This is one of Al Pacino's first movies and he definitely left his mark, his performance has opened many doors for him, but most of all, it made the best movie ever!
