12 Strong tells the story of the first Special Forces team deployed to Afghanistan after 9/11; under the leadership of a new captain, the team must work with an Afghan warlord to take down the Taliban. The True Story of the Army's Special Forces "Green Berets", who within weeks responded to the 9-11 attack. Green Berets, with the help of the 160th SOAR(A), took over the country and allowed other Special Forces and the rest of the conventional military to begin the more publicly visible war. Movie is far, far better than some here are rating it. I was on the edge of my seat for the whole movie. Of course it was a bit unreal, especially with only one serious injury out of 12….but that's what a good movie is all about! Chris as always very enjoyable and likable character, story is intense. Just Great War movie watch it won't regret it. On its own terms, the film is watchable enough, but it’s blunt and stolid and under-characterized, and at 130 minutes it plods.
