“Understated” isn’t a word you’d ordinarily use to describe a Jerry Bruckheimer production, but that’s surprisingly what “12 Strong” ends up being. Director Nicolai Fuglsig, making his feature filmmaking debut, draws on his photojournalism background in telling this story of real-life heroism. Chris Hemsworth stars as the leader of a team of Green Berets who were the first U.S. troops in Afghanistan after 9/11. It’s solid, especially for a January movie. My RogerEbert.com review.
Great review, have to watch it! Always watch What the Flick in Australia on Fridays, great show!
Thanks so much, Zack! And hello, Australia!
