Zona ostile

This movie plays in the same league as Hawsack Ridge,Zero Dark Thirty, The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, Michael Bay, o Lone survivor. With a mastery use of suspense and cinematic tempo, Spanish director Adolfo Martínez uses all elements of the story, based on real facts. 90 minutes that traps the audience, you do not get a pause, everything is in crescendo.. The narrative is rich and varied; from the military and the role of the doctor, to the enemies that surge from dark and the use of dust as an innovative cinematic element, not mere decorative. A film not to be missed.

Only who have served in the Armed Forces can enjoy this movie because they are the ones who have faced the enemy in a real battle. Very realistic action scenes and superb performance by the actors. Will bring back a lot of memories with adrenaline rush especially to Afghan vets.

Classical "we are trapped behind enemy lines" movie, well played. Right mix of story/drama and action. I was well entertained.

I have to admit, I had no idea going into this film it was a foreign production and subtitled.

At first I was "oh no, I hate seeing subtitled films" and had partially given up 15 minutes in, but still gave it a chance. I'm glad I did! It really elevates the senses once the conflicts start.

This 'based on true events' film was executed quite well. The directing was excellent, the cinematography and editing on point, the set locations amazing and the acting was very convincing.

It was even interesting that the AS332 Superpuma helicopter used for the film is the same helicopter that actually crashed in Afghanistan.

It would have been nice if it was dubbed in English so I wouldn't have to look down to read the subtitles and either miss the scenery or the action, but nevertheless, overall it was an intense film that I thoroughly enjoyed.

A well deserved 9/10 from me

That doesn't always work now does it? Especially in war territory. If you are trapped somewhere and help cannot come easily ... you may be more in need of it, than the ones you came to rescue.

Really well done war movie/effort, where you may not get behind every soldiers motivation and the enemy overall seems quite paper thin when it comes to motivation (kill), but still is tension filled enough so you won't get bored ... not for the squeamish or easily offended obviously, but everyone else will have ... well "fun"
