Do yourself a favour and leave out this film. And put it on your black list. It is a really despicable film.It is the all too transparent attempt to generate compassion for the agents of black ops. But at the same time it is a hymnic and tearful praise of toxic masculinity. Just watch the first three minutes and you knew in what misogynous world the films wants to force you in.
Next major flaw: There is not even an explanation given for the context of the Irak-War. There is only a pseudo-authentic background since one of the soldiers was co-author of the script. Hence the military slang you are forced to listen too. What was again the idea and the purpose of this mission? Close to zero informations in this film either. But enjoy your time with the civil hostages.
The film erases its maybe sincere motives by using the trite formulas of action and or western cinema say of John Carpenter's "Assault on Precinct 13"(1976). The film also reproduces the simple military friend/enemy dualism and invests severly into the dehumanization of the foes.
The celebrated sound design is only the mean and brutal attempt to force the audience into a war like atmosphere. Oh, how cute!
