I'd seen previews, but finally rented 12 Strong from the library. My parents and I enjoy war and history movies. 12 Strong is about the U.S.'s response to the attacks of 9-11. It centers around one captain who recently switched roles and is no longer over his team. As the attacks happen, Captain Mitch Nelson, played by Chris Hemsworth rallies to get his team back together. It isn't easy, but eventually he gets reassigned to his team. Once that happens, he positions his team to lead the charge to take on the Taliban.
Interestingly enough, his wife in the movie is played by his real-life wife, Elsa Pataky.
The movie shows their role as they worked with an Afghan warlord to take on the Taliban. It was really remarkable and a must-see!
Have you seen it? What did you think? If you haven't seen it yet, are you going to see it now? :)
