This movie is a disgrace

A few things on this film: for one, it was reassuring to see something opposite the message of Moore's disrespectful depiction of "OUR" soldiers. Very, very few understand enough about our involvement in Iraq. There were, unfortunately, abundant tactical discrepensies that I feel obliged to address, if only because they've been misrepresented in other threads on this website.
1.) A light, such as the watt-glaring bulb on the camera can be seen for miles in open terrein. It provides an very easy target for even a novice shooter. Also, if "Lars" had been ex-Army, he would have known this. It's a tactical no-no.
2.) The narrow escapes from death that did not involve light discipline were engagements from 25 to 50 meters. Very close for the AK round to find its target. Yet they escaped, until that night fo course.
3.) The colloquial narratives were disrespectful of to those who've endured the reality of Afghanistan or ANY combat zone. Albiet, this isn't a tactical beef, but still a beef.
4.) Someone in another thread mentioned an RPG going off at a comparable proximity to that of the film. If they did they would recall the audible blast. I'm not sure what kind of camera was used, but the impulse from that percussion would have cooked a typical speaker actuator from a $900 camera.
5.) Again with the sound, in caves this time. Sorry, but no. Even if the camera could take it, ears can't. Spec ops designates a specific hearing protection protocol for close contact cave operations. Special plugs.
I'm ignoring the fact that the Afghans continued to film when the cameraman was hit. This was just a movie, afterall.
Other than the technical stuff, the movie represented a third world country )one of the poorest) very well. Being entrenched with the Afghans undoubtedly made a difference. But the strech in reason made an otherwise worthy movie, disrespectful to those who've shared the experiences it claims to represent

if you think this is a good movie, just think about the tacky, overly dramatic lines ("nothing makes sense any more." heard in every voice-over in just about every war flick i've seen.) not that it doesn't have some technical merit, i did find it somewhat entertaining; good action coverage and believable "drama," to some point. however, this film does show that most americans have an undeservable ego that puts us in harms way, for the sake of attention, not freedom. as far as the "real*bleep* that's going down," try watching "sometimes in april" for real drama.

this movie is horrible, it's clearly untalented queefs that got bored and shot this thing on the fly.

You're right, autojampilot. This was just like 84charlie mopic. I guess most people here haven't seen it, but they did see witch, which was boring in comparison to both of these other dramas.

I dont think mockumentry is the right term for this or mopic, ...or is it? Both 84 charlie and september were both trying to be as accurate as possible about reality, while witch was just fiction about fiction.

Wrong movie, dude. That movie with Courteney Cox is called "November".

It's a sad thing that your adventures have ended here
