This is not just Guy Ritchie in top form, but a reminder of the visceral impact a great, zero-pretense film can have on you. One of the year's best.
I expected a 'simple' war/guy movie to lightly entertain me. I got that and then some. The action sequences are magnificently balanced between suspense and all out action.
This is ultimately a movie about principle. About what motivates good men to do impossibly hard things in the name of integrity. It is not some self absorbed man-child mewling about how their espresso machine in the office lottery was the wrong color.
This is the truth, what went on in Afghanistan for 20 years. And you feel it.
