Based on an incredible true story, 12 Strong is a compelling and inspirational war film. In the aftermath of the 2001 September 11th terrorist attacks on America an elite US Special Forces team is sent to Afghanistan to take out a Taliban strong hold to clear the way for American forces to launch their military campaign. Starring Chris Hemsworth, Michael Shannon, Michael Pena, and William Fichtner, the cast is quite impressive and delivers strong performances. Also, the film does a good job at showing the culture clash and how the US soldiers had to adapt to a different form of warfare. And director Nicolai Fuglsig brings a lot of tension and energy to the battle scenes. The score as well is especially well-done and heightens the action and drama. 12 Strong is a powerful film about one of the first major US victories in the Afghanistan War.
