This film seems to be logically rigorous, but in fact it is technically impossible, and there are many loopholes!

Vulnerability 1: Isaac and Matthews are both professional and amateur. If the sniper takes cover and the observer comes forward, this will not happen at all. When Matthews was shot, Isaac should have looked for a sniper position. And the opponent is one-on-two. Under normal circumstances, if you are not sure that you will not shoot if you kill two at a time, the opponent also appears amateur in this process. And he chose to shoot at the time of the sandstorm. It can play a role in covering himself, but can he hit it?

Vulnerability 2: Opponents have intercoms and radios, and they can be tuned through. I don’t think military radios can be used just by itself. Isaac also had to dial (or enter a password) when he called for helicopter support, and these opponents knew that!

Vulnerability 3: The opponent's marksmanship is simply incomprehensible! The 1500m movement dodged the target with three shots hitting the radio, the kettle, and the knee. The opponent is risking his life to "play" and shoot the kettle, which does not affect the final goal, and is too distracted. It is also magical to hit the personnel on the helicopter in a row! After the helicopter crashed, the body was almost unscathed. Two helicopters, only hit one but still use the old routine to lure the enemy.

Vulnerability 4: The dead soldier Isaac took on the radio was a suicide, his right leg and knee were bandaged, he was not wearing a shirt, his vest was full of magazines, and the hairstyle was the same as Isaac's. This cannot be explained by coincidence or adversary magic.

Vulnerability 5: Isaac's behavior behind the wall is very strange, thinking that the opponent must be in the garbage dump, Matthews is exposed when he counterattacks, he only shoots one shot when he counterattacks, and then asks the helicopter to counterattack. Contradictory

Vulnerability 6: Let's add together

The above loopholes can actually be explained by Fight Club. Isaac changed into war syndrome during the war, showing schizophrenia and battlefield dependence. The last comrade in arms, Matthews, and the rescue helicopter were all shot by him, and he later committed suicide. The film shows the imagination of his real personality.

  • Juba: You Americans. You think you know it all. You think it's simple. That I am your enemy. But we are not so different, you and I.

    Isaac: Yeah, 'cept I ain't a fuckin' terrorist.

    Juba: And you think I am? You are the one who has come to another man's country. Camouflaged yourself in his land, in his soil. From where I'm sitting, *you* look very much like the terrorist.
