Overrated! Disjointed, disconnected, weird.
C at best. What was everybody watching?
Ralph Fiennes - hardcore special forces - Really? He and the bomb squad get pinned down by insurgents 1000 meters away who are pin point accurate with AKs. Really? But the special forces and then bomb team can't hit the broad side of a barn (a concrete bunker) with a 50 caliber? Until, that is, a miraculous Rambo head shot on a moving target. Really? And the special effects there (red mist) look like the job of a third grader. Realistic. There are the weird sub plots in here that go no where and don't make sense. Bad movie making, bottom line. What were you people watching!
Do you see what having Call of Duty as the most popular video game does to people and their appreciation of films? So much stupidity in such a small statement.
I know im commenting 2 years later but the rifle the insurgent sniper using is a dragunov svd as you can see after the insurgent sniper dies. But why care so much of things like the guns in a movie? The story is what really matters in a movie.
It's a DRAGONOV sniper rifle, not an AK, RETARD.
You have no idea what you're talking about, let alone how sniping even works, I'd be willing to bet. Gtfo, you know nothing.
this is the usual hollywood war fare, average at best, nothing to call home about. every critics went nuts about this because a woman directed this, so "it's edgy".

Fiennes is NOT "hardcore special forces." Him and his team are independent military contractors - fancy way of calling them mercs.

@Joe M.
It sounds as if you were watching this movie as if it was Call of Duty.
I don't mean to be that guy, but you really missed the big point of the movie by knit-picking at effects and weapon specs.
