12 Strong, Rated R.
Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Michael Shannon, Michael
Peña, Navid Negahban, Elsa Pataky, Rob Riggle, Trevante Rhodes, Taylor
Sheridan, Geoff Stults, Austin Stowell
Brief Summary: 12 STRONG is set in the harrowing days following 9/11 when a U.S. Special Forces team, led by their new Captain, Mitch Nelson (Hemsworth), is chosen to be the first U.S. troops sent into Afghanistan for an extremely dangerous mission. There, in the rugged mountains, they must convince Northern Alliance General Dostum (Negahban) to join forces with them to fight their common adversary: the Taliban and their Al Qaeda allies. In addition to overcoming mutual distrust and a vast cultural divide, the Americans—accustomed to state-of-the-art warfare—must adopt the rudimentary tactics of the Afghani horse soldiers. But despite their uneasy bond, the new allies face overwhelming odds: outnumbered and outgunned by a ruthless enemy that does not take prisoners. (source: iTunes)

This was a really good
movie. Not knowing the main character’s story, on top of the action, made it
really suspenseful during every battle. We'll be
getting this movie when it comes out on DVD/Blu-ray.
End Credits: There was nothing after the credits.
