I didn't know exactly what to expect going into this movie. I was looking for something compared to 13 Hours (2016), 12 Strong (2018), The Covenant (2023). - This film is hard to compare to others because it didn't include all of the "action" or cinematic chaos that most war movies provide.
It is a very realistic adaptation of what going into the military could be like for majority of people. Not every single person who goes to war comes face to face nonstop with gunfire, bombs, or the enemy. This movie does a great job depicting the brotherhood that forms. It shows the endless days and nights of waiting for your peak moment of this huge war you thought you were going to face. It shows the way that life at home may continue full speed while you're away fighting for your country.
It is definitely a good film, but it's not a typical action film or war movie. I don't want to say it's slow because I didn't feel it was, but it was very much like real life and when you compare real life to a Hollywood movie, of course your life is going to seem more slow paced. If you know anyone in the military I think you should watch this because it will give you a little more insight into their world.
