was just a small group of Taliban, eight or twelve (tiny, compared to the film's ridiculous inflation to 200!), with one automatic rifle among them, why didn't the film makers leave it like that? When one says, "based on a true story" but then distorts all the critical facts, that's subversive of any intent implied by that promise.
And isn't it time we stopped this invincibility nonsense? American soldiers do no better than others in combat: a handful certainly can't hold off a couple of hundred enemy for very long. I like war films, but I don't like what this film is selling: propaganda. SEAL supermen.
SPOILER ALERT:
The scene of the graphic head shot to the American "Axe" was totally gratuitous and never should have been kept in the released film.
One series of falls off the cliff was sufficient: no one could have managed to go through one and continue fighting, much less after two fall episodes.
NO once removes chards from deep within their leg w/out some sort of anesthetic. Period. Shock would have resulted.
Anyhow, the original story was good; one can see that the service and/or survivor based their approval on a change to the script; it was compelling BEFORE the writers got ahold of it.
As for the quality of the action sequences and their being compared to SPR: get serious. Not in the same league...
