some might say the story was convuluted but i think no more than most spy/action movies,acting was par for what they were a sking to do the acting . everything else was true to real combat as ive seen.hollywood was left virtually out.there was no hollywood neck snap(todays version of the 60s judo chop to the back of the neck)no one dispatched with a knife. military assualt troops only use a pistol as a last resort wich held true. this movie came off more like a military channel show but icouldnt take my eyes off it, other than red lasers wich my experiance is special forces typicaly use i.r. the show got it right.there were things im not familar with but i felt itwas correctly used
