12 Strong [Blu-ray] [2018]

I would recommend this movie to anyone that likes a war picture.

I ordered this hard to find BluRay DVD and Best Buy found it and shipped it to me quickly. It arrived in perfect condition and earlier than expected. Great service. Very impressive! This DVD presents an accurate portrayal of what it was like for our early troops in Afghanistan. Well worth watching.

Great story that, for reasons completely beyond me, has been entirely ignored. It deals with the initial response to the post 9/11 war on terror and the accompanying insertion into Afghanistan directly. It shows exactly what US forces were up against, not only in terms of logistics but also dealing with locals and trying to create a unified front not only for the US but for the long suffering people in the countryside. Very well cast with Chris Hemsworth in the lead role. Great, fast paced battle sequences that carry on and expand further the standards initiated by Saving Private Ryan.

Excellent blu-ray 12 strong movie! This movie is better in blu-ray!

This is one of the best movies that Chris has done. Definitely worth adding to your collection

This was a great movie to watch and hear. This story is one not many people really know unless you have read the book because it wasn't all over the news. Having lived on Ft. Campbell as a teenager I would always here my father or his soldiers talking about 5th group which is the group is depicted in this movie. A must watch for any military history buff. If you like movies like black hawk down, lone survivor or american sniper, this is for you.

I didn't buy this for the BLUE-RAY. I don't own a Blue-Ray Player! Best Buy was out of stock of the regular DVD-only copy, but I bought this one because it has a separate +DVD disc, too! (And a free digital download copy, too.) Now, on to the review of the movie, "12 STRONG!" Although the opening 1/2-hour is a boring, standard plot / explanation of how these soldiers got sent over to Afghanistan, it is a very necessary 1/2 hour. It's like other films in this genre: e.g., 1. "We Were Soldiers," (Mel Gibson); e.g., 2. "Hacksaw Ridge" (2016), (Andrew Garfield); e.g., 3. "Fury," (Brad Pitt); and e.g., 4. "Saving Private Ryan" (directed by Steven Spielberg) -- the "initial 1/2-hour+" development of the story is very necessary,... BUT, these earlier films first 1/2-hours were done much more EXPERTLY and engagingly! -- By better Oscar-winning Directors! TWELVE (12) STRONG's director, Nicolai Fuglsig, does start doing a pretty good job once these 12 "Horse-Soldiers" are in Afghanistan. And, the GREATEST pleasure is watching the actors do their craft! I'm talking especially about Chris Hemsworth, Michael Shannon and Michael Pena! That's why I bought this movie having seen it in theaters twice. They perform the very attention-holding action scenes with aplomb, humor, and believability. If you're a fan of these three actors -- they are excellent at these roles! It's AWESOME watching these modern-day American "HORSE-SOLDIERS" deal with modern-day Afghanistan warfare. This ain't no "Wild-West Calvary Horse-Riding" soldiers' film about fighting Indians to"tame" the Western United States!!

12 Strong [Blu-ray] [2018] the movie is a fun movie to watch and is based on a real story. Not everyone may know that it is based on a true story but the movie plays like a movie and is entertaining if you like action movies. The scenery was great and is a fun way to spend movie night.
