The film just confirms the phrase "to be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself". The SEAL team released three local civilians out of kindness, but they were killed in the end; the local villagers who rescued the surviving American soldiers also got angry because of their kind deeds, and were attacked and retaliated by the Taliban, resulting in a large number of casualties. Kindness in war is so difficult to define and so precious.
The movie shows the life and style of the SEAL soldiers very realistically, and the battle scenes are also close to reality. The SEAL team is all elite, and the enemy is not a mob. The spirit of not afraid of death and powerful firepower make the battle between the two sides very exciting, especially the battle in the woods. The final rescue operation also well reflects the strength of the elite troops of the U.S. military. In these respects, I think this film is more reasonable and easier to accept than the performance of "Black Hawk Down".
A good war film is not only about telling the story of war, but also arousing the audience's cognition and thinking about war. This film has done it very well.
