Warhorse: One Mission. One Moment. One Man

I won't give this a number. It's true that it's unreal that Mirko never runs out of ammunition. I noticed and I didn't care. I think it strange that he seemed to move faster and yet, somehow the "insurgents " always seemed to be right behind him. I'm sure that SEALS are better marksmen. He certainly was mistaken to have trusted the obvious enemy and more so to leave the child behind with him, but the rescue effort had to be set up. No one can cover so much challenging terrain and do it with no food and almost no water. There are many faults in the plot and the reflections when looking skyward were annoying to me. So what! I was entertained and amazed at everything that was conveyed in Zoe's expressions. I don't think that can be coached. It has to be natural talent. True, as 1 professional reviewer pointed out, one who acts with children or animals is sure to be upstaged, and Athena Duren did it without having to have a single word of dialogue. That smile...

In Vietnam the American military establishment consumed an estimated 50,000 rounds of ammunition for every enemy killed.

Back in the days before soldiers sprayed bullets about the field of battle promiscuously (i.e. The Civil War) it took about 60 rounds to "take out" one enemy soldier. The amount of ammunition used in WW2 resulted in 25,000 rounds per casualty. Usually, you go on a combat patrol with around 210 rounds; If you get into a firefight, your ammunition can deplete very quickly.

Yet what we saw in this movie, the frogman, call-sign Warhorse Once wasted his bullets to kill enemies like he had endless supplies of bullets from his logistic arsenal. He usually kept shooting with a salvo of 3 or 4 or even 5 bullets that resulted killing nobody, but when he shot just once, there's a kill. A veteran soldier, alone in the wildness, chased by swarm of enemies should and would never waste his bullets like what we saw in this moronic unrealistic firefights, but he just wasted his bullets so mindlessly generous. It's just made me shake my head non-stop sneering.

I am going to whine a little bit about the idiots that complain it was filmed in Colorado, what you wanted it filmed in Afghanistan. The main star did everything in this movie but run the food truck. If you gave this a one/ten what will you give Megalodon., the Frenzy. Also low budget but without the acting, any special effects. I also think Warhorse One was entertaining, not an academy award winner by any means, The typical good guy that at least misses his target occasionally and the bad guys that can't hit anything. I don't watch a movie to complain if he shoots to many bullets from one magazine or if the soundtrack is not the best. All I can say about people like that, is I have more important things to be critical of.

A Navy SEAL master chief must guide a child to safety through a gauntlet of Taliban insurgents.

A US Navy SEAL trapped in Afghanistan, and in the first skirmish with the Taliban, he discards with his back pack containing.

Despite constant engagement with enemy fire, he never runs out of ammo, he jumps into a fast flowing river with his weapon, and comes out holding it. The gun, despite being submerged in water, works perfectly every time and never jams once. I'm all for suspending reality, but oh lord, this film asks a lot. Totally unrealistic. Total BS.

I enjoyed Warhorse One. Is it Lone Survivor? No it's an independent film made by Johnny Strong. The child actress was very endearing. I believe it's her first role. She does a great job if you consider her age and the fact she's running around the woods with Johnny. His last shootout with the bad guys was done very well I thought. I had memories of Rambo when he was in Afghanistan. The weapons handling and cinematography was done well. Again it's not a big budget film so you can find things to criticize if you want. Geez how many big budget films are complete garbage?? I respect what he's doing and the message he's putting out. Give it a chance.
