I thought it was really good. The dialogue (both personal and professional) between the SF guys seemed genuine, the fight scenes (both gun and hand) looked professional, and although it took a while for things to cook off I liked the time they took for character development.

I'm hoping our forum members that were/are SF will see the movie and comment on how real and accurate it is regarding operations, weapons handling, firefight, etc. as it all impressed me as authentic, but what I know of such things comes from books or the rare sharing of such things by those who have been there and done that.

Sounds interesting. For me it depends on the plot, and its believablity.

The trailers look good. Hopefully the whole movie will measure up to the trailers.

Unfortunately I can't watch any more Chris Pine movies, because all I see is "that's Chris Pine".

Not to be confused with The Contractor featuring Wesley Snipes in a boring forgettable and confusing film.

Well made movie that just wasn’t very good. Didn’t make a ton of sense. Lots of “well ok” moments. Watch it for free is my advice. It’s not awful just not very good either.

Saw it a few days ago needed something to do so I watched it and boy was it forgettable.

Not a movie I would recommend to watch it was all over the place and not that good of a movie. By the time it was over thank god I streamed it for free because if I had to pay for it would have been so angry.
