Rating: 3.5/5 --
While some will say it glamorizes war, it is nonetheless entertaining and informative.

Rating: 3/5 --
The action is frequent and gripping, the heroism present but understated, and the sense of tactical complexity has survived the script-writing process, so there is more geo-political subtlety than one expects from a post-9/11 American war movie.

Sydney Morning Herald
Rating: B- --
Informative and educational movie that drags, especially at the beginning, making it a film that is not re-watchable.

3 stars out of 4 -- There are Sergio Leone-ish gun battles and artful shots of riderless horses galloping past scorched tanks; visual juxtapositions that make a powerful point about the perpetual, timeless nature of the Afghan conflict.

Rating: 2.5/5 --
12 Strong devolves a very real story into a professional wrestling spectacle.

In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, a U.S. Special Forces unit undertake a dangerous mission in Afghanistan to strike back against the Taliban. There, they find common allies among the Afghani people, and must adapt to their new terrain by learning to fight on horseback. 12 STRONG was directed by Nicolai Fuglsig, and is based on the non-fiction book HORSE SOLDIERS by Douglas Stanton. Chris Hemsworth, Michael Shannon, Michael Peña, Trevante Rhodes, Navid Negahban, Elsa Pataky, William Fichtner, and Rob Riggle star.
