    We're way behind on any post-WWII ordnance being included at all really. I haven't seen any movie do rocket artillery since 12 Strong, much less CIWS or artillery shells thru night vision.

    He was once captured and set to be executed. Bribed his way out of it. The amazing thing is not his captors took the money but they did not kill him anyway. His character was in the movie 12 Strong w Thor! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_Strong General Abdul Rashid Dostum played by Navid Negahban

    When I lose hope in my country I watch the movie 12 Strong. Those men were and are the epitome of what America is. WE CAN OVERCOME TRUMP!

    Just saw the "12 Strong" movie reminding me of what an awe-inspiring country Afghanistan is, despite the centuries of conflict. My last mission there prophesized what was to come with the bombing of my hotel in Kabul. Fortified compounds from then on with worse to come for the locals.

    Woah it's a aaaa aaaanother fuckin' blog. I want to try doing a small series around these relentlessly fascinating post-2014 US ooh rah film and television projects. I'm doing the hysterically badly timed 12 Strong next, but any suggestions for quality modern US propaganda nonsense are welcome!

    It’s a bitter irony that 12 Strong was released only three years before Kabul crumbled faster than Kevin Spacey’s career. Then again, this movie has as much to do with the war in Afghanistan as the Arab uprising had to do with Lawrence of Arabia. #12Strong #MovieReview #War #Movie https://ninetypercentcrapmoviereviews.wordpress.com/2024/05/17/12-strong/

    It’s a bitter irony that 12 Strong was released only three years before Kabul fell faster than Kevin Spacey’s career. Then again, this movie has as much to do with the war in Afghanistan as the Arab uprising has to do with Lawrence of Arabia — which is exactly where director Nicolai Fuglsig and screenwriters Ted Tally and Peter Craig seem to have gotten their idea of General Dostum (Navid Negahban), whom they have filtered through George C. Scott's Patton, and given a Historical Hero Upgrade.…

    In every aspect a decent war film with a story worth telling. Too bad the cast doesn’t get to shine enough, but the technical aspect, the score and the fact that it's based on a true story still make ‘12 Strong’ worth a watch or two. 8/10

    Not really my sort of thing, but I can't go so far as to say that it's "bad". It's a little formulaic and it's a lot American patriotic (ironic given that the star is Australian), but it's... I guess "professional" is the word that best suits it? I wouldn't begrudge the target market for enjoying 12 Strong is what I'm saying. Final rating:★★½ - Not quite for me, but I definitely get the appeal.
