The Outpost - BLU-RAY

Purchased from a friends suggestion from a point of view from someone who was there. Kandahar will be my next purchase when it comes out

Bought it because friend who served said it was one of those movies that came as close to how it really was and for that reason I haven’t been able to watch it

Excellent delivery, Blu-ray works perfectly. The movie is outstanding with a great storyline. Played flawlessly on my DVD player.

As realism goes, this film is in the league of: 12 STRONG, 13 HOURS: THE SECRET SOLDIERS OF BENGHAZI, Black Hawk Down, SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, and WE WERE SOLDIERS, and it is representative of the fighting qualities and spirit of the U.S. soldier. The film is a fairly realistic portrayal of the routine and the boredom of a Combat Outpost and yes, the expected daily gun fight thanks to the Taliban. This is a story of an unexpected great gunfight. With little warning, all hell broke loose on the morning of October 3, 2009 at 0600[6:00AM) and lasted the entire day into the night – a very tough fight ensued on both sides who were both intent on their mission accomplishment. Finally the U.S. Army, in the late of the late of the evening, was triumphant, but at a high cost: 8 KIA, over 20 wounded of a total force of 57 U.S. Soldiers. The film is a study in close combat realism and tactics. All the cast members were on-point and turned very realistic performances, and fortunately the film’s Director knew what he was doing – thus, the totally great view for the movies audience. Be sure to see the film though the Ending Credits.   In every respect, this film is a realistic depiction of the Battle of Kamdesh at Combat Base Keating on October 3, 2009. All the elements of the gunfight that day were portrayed to include absolute fear, the gallantry of some, and the steadfastness of all to their duty to others. In the end, the fight was won and the commands colors continued to fly. Few films portray the realism and courage of the desperate fight that day but this film put to screen the credit that was due to all that day and night

Very good war movie looks great in 4k and soundtrack was really good
