      Audience Reviews for 12 Strong

      • Aug 04, 2019

        Based on an incredible true story, 12 Strong is a compelling and inspirational war film. In the aftermath of the 2001 September 11th terrorist attacks on America an elite US Special Forces team is sent to Afghanistan to take out a Taliban strong hold to clear the way for American forces to launch their military campaign. Starring Chris Hemsworth, Michael Shannon, Michael Pena, and William Fichtner, the cast is quite impressive and delivers strong performances. Also, the film does a good job at showing the culture clash and how the US soldiers had to adapt to a different form of warfare. And director Nicolai Fuglsig brings a lot of tension and energy to the battle scenes. The score as well is especially well-done and heightens the action and drama. 12 Strong is a powerful film about one of the first major US victories in the Afghanistan War.

        A true story and a good story at that. However, the film seems disjointed at times and some times the strong cast gets an opportunity to act and then they don't. The war sequences are well done and I was moved by it. Not a bad rental for sure! 09/09/2018

        Enjoyable enough with a good cast. But it still seems to contain all the usual war movie clichés which means that it really must be based loosely on real events.

        Do you think it was weird for Hemsworth to constantly be referred to as Cap? *Seriously though, what these men did was incredible and director Nicolai Fuglsig finds an effective way to convey as much even if it takes him a good portion of the running time to find his footing.
