Ok movie, but a little too bloated


1). The best part of the movie was the buddy interactions between Mo and Tom

2). The movie’s scenery was beautiful. The nighttime hellicopter scene was scary and exciting

3). The plot needed a little more work. They had stuff with the reporter, the CIA at Washington, Mo’s history with his dead son and missing sister-in-law, and some dude in a motorcycle. It feels like they had too much going. I’m still not sure who the motorcycle dude is, nor do I understand why they didn’t have Tom kill him at the end. Plus, Tom’s friend who came disguised as ISIS. I didn’t really understand why he was saying Muslim prayers when he died? … basically, the movie needed to cut back a little on these subplots. They didn’t have time to flesh out each one
