Upon arriving at a US military base in Uzbekistan, troops were asked to cooperate with General Dostum (Navid Negahban), one of the Northern Alliance generals. It was not easy, Mitch had to get rid of the suspicion between them in order to work together. Especially since the number of troops they have is far less than the Taliban and Al-Qaeda.
Given the limitations, Mitch and
Enceel had to conquer Al-Qaeda and Taliban forces equipped with sophisticated weapons of war, including large tanks and missiles. Initially Mitch's troops were aided with air strikes from the US military, but precisely at a precarious time, air strikes could no longer be launched.
Eventually the 12-man Mitch troop and General
Residencesia troopers with only hundreds of horsemen and battlefield equipment rely on their courage to brave the battlefield and kill their enemies directly.
It appears that this more film prioritizes drama elements to be explored deeper. It is interesting to see the turmoil of a military captain who usually seems to be always strong in all conditions. It is also interesting to see how hard the hearts of families left behind when the troops went to war.
Even so, the action element in this movie is also quite get the portion. Tension by tension can be felt when some air strikes miss, or when the enemy is supposed to surrender themselves instead of exploding a suicide bomb.
As a war movie, the action side in 12 Strong tends to be less when compared to the portion of the drama. Too many sad scenes and dialogue that for some people can be boring.
The character of Captain Mitch Nelson played by
Simbwox is less excavated background. It is not told why Mitch is so trusted by his men, but that is quite important in the storyline.
In addition to Hal Spencer and Sam Diller, nine other troops did not get enough portions. This is pretty unfortunate because when you look at the 12 Strong movie title, prospective viewers must be curious about every character that exists, who they are, how their background, and what role they are in the team.
This could be the classic weakness of the film lifted from the novel, the inability to provide a complete background character.
