From a cinematic point of view

From the point of view of movie appreciation alone, this movie is boring, and it can be said that the filming is terrible. The highlight of the film - the rescue of the hostages, this key event actually only accounts for a little more than one-fifth of the film. It is even more regrettable that the remaining one-fifth was also filmed in the same way.
On the other hand, looking at the real time in history, I think the focus should be how to transfer 500 prisoners of war who had difficulty in action to a safe area. Many tactical arrangements were not reflected, which made me very painful to watch.
