Like many action films, the first half is too long and the second half is too short. If I wanted to see a film about 'family' and 'politics', I'd watch Mulan. _Black Hawk Down_ or _13 Hours_ are better of the same.

Tasteful duration, which allowed pretty intense and detailed firefight scenes. I felt this was a really great action movie, but it didn't quite feel like a 'war' movie. An excellent performance from Chris Hemsworth, especially for a role he's not typically in (military).

I like the idea of this movie because it has a great story to base off of, and seemingly lots of potential, but I didn't like how it was carried out. Acting wasn't great, dialogue was over the top at times, and it came across to me a little hyper-patriotic, as opposed to realistic. I think if Kathryn Bigalow had made it, it would have been quite different, for the better.

This is just a boring movie. Twenty minutes before it was over I almost turned it off to go to bed. Great cast. Boring movie.

Not really my sort of thing, but I can't go so far as to say that it's "bad". It's a little formulaic and it's a lot American patriotic (ironic given that the star is Australian), but it's... I guess "professional" is the word that best suits it? I wouldn't begrudge the target market for enjoying _1 More

In every aspect a decent war film with a story worth telling. Too bad the cast doesn’t get to shine enough, but the technical aspect, the score and the fact that it's based on a true story still make ‘12 Strong’ worth a watch or two.

It’s a bitter irony that 12 Strong was released only three years before Kabul fell faster than Kevin Spacey’s career. Then again, this movie has as much to do with the war in Afghanistan as the Arab uprising has to do with Lawrence of Arabia — which is exactly where director Nicolai Fuglsig an More
