Gerard Butler fights on while accepting the endlessness / pointlessness of war in Afghanistan. The real hero of the film is “Roman” (Travis Fimmel).

A CIA operation goes bad when its uncovered and its agent is on the run in order to reach rescue.

What is wrong with the critics? This is very watchable. Sure, you have to suspend your disbelief in places, but for the most part Butler and the others do a fine job. I'm recommending you watch it. In this case, the public is right, while the critics are dead wrong.

The actors did the best they can. The director and plot are hopeless. Honestly I could do a better job than whoever it is.

Very good action movie!

The story and action in this movie, was abysmal... But I gave it 3 stars for the effort of showing that there is no such thing as good or evil in war... Leaving all those weapons and gear behind has sealed the faith of the Afghan people for generations to come. We are no better than our enemies ♥️

Confusing, to say the very least. You really have to pay attention, but even if you do, yo may very well loose the tread.

this movie is really good. the acting is great even from Gerald butler who is a great actor. im glad there is going to be a sequel to the movie. watch it its great

Diffcult to follow mess for much of the first hour as most of it is spent setting up one too many subplots. The action finally takes hold in the second half and it cuts to the chase, but there’s little point to it after a messy opening half with nothing much to connect with. Oh, a random r&b song played over for no reason as two guys drive through the desert, because I guess that makes total sense in a movie like this. Totally misplaced soundtrack. There are some solidly performed tense scenes in the second half amidst all the action but it all just feels out of balance. You can see a lot better version of this movie, it’s called Covenant. This might have worked better as a mini-series, where each subplot could have gotten more time.

Consider this as a masterpiece

Made me realiza anything can happen to your life. Meaningful, deep, action etc mixed feelings you can catch

This movie was fantastic. I’m not sure where all of the negative reviews stem from, talking about it being to slow and drawn out. I felt it had a perfect balance of action and emotion. The acting was brilliant from all. The action scenes were well done and not too over the top. Some what cheesy, yes. But most action flicks are. Overall though, this was a great movie and definitely worth a watch.

A movie primarily set in the dark, if you are like me and want to see what is going on then you’re going to miss so much of this film! I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who enjoys the filmmakers intention of authenticity with night time scenes; you essentially can’t see anything which for this movie lets it down drastically as so much action takes place at night!

Butler fits like a glove in the role of an abandoned CIA agent that will partner with whoever it takes to get out. Final scenes where he and his comrades are close to the Kandahar gate make the movie.

It was entertaining

Average/generic plot but the acting was excellent and keeps you locked in. The night helicopter scene was pretty intense too. If you watch this movie make sure you watch with a good sound system and a subwoofer.

Triple cheesy, some good action, ok acting, too slow though, could have been 20-30 mins shorter.

Aside from the COMPLETELY ASININE helicopter vs. truck scene, this movie is pretty cool.

If Guantanamo runs out of torture methods they can just run this film for inmates.

its just overall ok i saw it on hulu. good actions scenes just too much talking. plane and 300 are better gerard butler films or olympus has fallen worth a watch for setting and action scenes good ending.
