Excellent movie directing by Pierre Morel and well selected characters. Amazing actors performance, picture well made and sound is just perfect. 🔥🔥🔥
Must watch movie! 10/10.

Manichean film where terrorists drop like flies by the dozen while we are entitled to 15 minutes of tearful melodrama for the death of a single "nice" soldier. Otherwise the film is effective as an old american action film not very fine.
Box-office movie, action, some fun, sacrifice and real drama.
The true story of being a soldier.
For all ages as no extreme violence, and easy language to follow.

Completely overrated. This movie is not better than a second class Hollywood war movie. The script is so poor, it's appalling. Pyrotechnics must represent half of the film's budget!
Let me summarize
Take a warmongering B-grade Hollywood movie, replace the English-language-speaking cast with Arabic-speaking ones of Atab ethnicity, translate the script into Arabic and you get absolute trash like this. Sadly, the actors also left a lot to be desired. The command post and the script depicting the tension is a photocopy from any run-of-the-mill Hollywood flick. The one in charge of the command room acted as if he was forced to do so with a gun held on his head. The lady in the room looked so planted. Glorifying war has been a Hollywood disease for a long, it is sad to see that the same disease has infected middle eastern cinemas too, a region that has been suffering from war.
