It is, at best, a somewhat average war film. [Full review in Spanish]

The Outpost will shake your core and rattle your bones.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 1, 2022

While the first half of “The Outpost” is a borderline disservice, the second half is a fitting tribute to the soldiers who fought the Battle of Kamdesh.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 24, 2022

Action scenes felt random and deaths felt emotionless. Caleb Landry Jones is probably the only good thing about this film. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 5/10 | Oct 22, 2021

Set in treacherous terrain, it's tightly wound, inventively shot, disorientating and distressing. Thrilling and depressing at the same time.

| Oct 1, 2021

All in all, a really good war/action film.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 20, 2021

A triumph of authenticity, The Outpost is as close to war as you want to get.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 18, 2021

As a stark comment on the cost of war it is a powerful and award worthy effort.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Mar 4, 2021

The Outpost is the visceral, often-gripping experience Lurie designed it to be.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 28, 2021

The Outpost honors this particular group of soldiers while still recognizing the pointlessness of their mission. There's no entertainment value in its brutality, but it's still a worthy addition to the war film canon.

| Feb 5, 2021

It's a true-life story, masterfully directed by Rod Lurie who instinctively captures the danger, risks and moments of desperation and humanity of the event.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Dec 18, 2020

... an unsparing look at the frustrations of fighting against hundreds of invisible enemies armed to their teeth.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 6, 2020

When the action comes, as it frequently does, it is viscerally effective, conveying the fight between internal discipline and external chaos.

| Nov 20, 2020

The Outpost is crafted with precision, expertise and experience. It's a war drama that transports you to the battlefield in all its cinematic brilliance.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 19, 2020

I think this beautifully depicts the uncertainty of combat and the moments before and after, too.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 12, 2020

The Outpost is a cleverly, and respectfully, crafted war film that uses a segmented, episodic approach to help you invest in the characters while building up to a very impressive battle sequence.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Oct 9, 2020

I can't say enough about the performance of Caleb Landry Jones.

| Oct 8, 2020

Filled with fear, tension, blood, bravery. The way the battle is shot is ripe with realism.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 2, 2020

The Outpost ... may wind up being the defining movie of the Afghanistan War.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 1, 2020

Even when we grip our seats at the taut action sequences or smile at the band-of-brothers camaraderie, there's something hollow and disconnected about the whole.
