Films

It is good, but a bit flag wavey. The Americans die with lingering close-ups and tearful eulogies, the Afghans just get slotted with minimum fuss. Wahlberg is a nasty piece of work too.

I know what you mean, but I think you're being a bit unfair. They were the protagonists of the film, characters who had back stories developed through extended screen time. When they die, it's a bigger deal and this is true of any film regardless of the content (Lucas didn't spend seconds reflecting on the endless Stormtroopers (is that one or two words?) being blasted out of existence).

Overall I don't think it "flag wavey" at all. Which was a nice surprise.

The sounds when they were tumbling down mountains though. Ugh!
