Viewing Notes

Watched on Netflix Instant, which might’ve influenced my rating a bit due to picture quality. Either the print itself was a bit soft (likely) or NWI was having difficulties streaming that day. Probably an issue with the print itself.

Anyhow, a fairly good war drama based on true events, set during the Russian occupation of, and war in, Afghanistan. We all know how THAT went.

It had the potential to be very good, but falls into the cliched ‘80s era action moments of Rambo-style movies. That sort of overt patriotism just doesn’t play well with me. Still, worth a watch for some truly good battle scenes tucked in here and there, as well as some of the more touching training camp bits.
