Very well executed

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Everyone in the world had heard of Jessica Lynch in 2003 . You remember don't you ? All American girl who joined the army . got sent to Iraq and got captured by the Iraqi at the battle of Nasiriyah and a week later got rescued in a daring mission by US special forces and then the Pentagon went in to overdrive stating she killed lots of Iraqis and was cruelly treated . Truth is the first casualty of war and the unfortunate thing was the legend of Jessica Lynch was a legend created by the Pentagon and media departments of the US military probably by the same people who stated Saddam had weapons of mass destruction and that's why he needed to be overthrown and in a strange way Jessica Lynch became a casualty of war twice over I first saw a clip of this TVM when the arguments of what really happened at the battle of Nasiriyah was in full flow . The thing that struck me was some very impressive and bloody battle sequences you wouldn't expect from a TVM which instantly reminded me of the ones seen in BLACK HAWK DOWN . In fact it's fair to say that director Peter Markle heavily inspired by Ridley Scott's film and that shouldn't be taken as a criticism . Also be fair to does portray Lynch being unconscious for some of the battle , not like having her gun down countless numbers of Iraqis till she ran out of ammo That said Hollywood likes to print the legend and in order to make a story more compelling embellishment and artistic licence is needed . After all spending a week in a hospital bed in a semi conscious state , even in Iraq doesn't lend itself to compelling drama . That said this TVM could have been worse . Imagine we had Hollywood running the American military and the Pentagon running film studios . It doesn't bare thinking about

Had the look and feel of a movie made for the big screen. It was a great story with excellent acting. From all the news reports I have read about this story, the movie closely depicted the events surrounding the actual events. It made me feel good to know that they are still people in the world that will risk their own safety to help others in need.

This movie held my attention from the beginning to the end. To see all these brave soldiers and to see what they go through, just tears at my heart. I liked how they touched on different sides of this war. I never took what our soldiers did for granted but I couldn't believe how this movie made me feel, I felt like I was right there with them. Hats off to the director, actors etc. Thank You Jessica Lynch and to all the other Hundred of Thousands of Soldiers that are out there protecting me and my family. They are all hero's in my eyes.

One of the most boring TV Movies I've ever seen. This girl got lost, knocked unconscious, and was later rescued two weeks later. And she received a medal for it. The only thing more asinine is that some execs at NBC thought this would make a good movie.Politics aside, this movie is pretty much what you'd expect from a story that isn't there: boring. The only parts even remotely interesting is the opening 5 minutes where the convoy is attacked. The parts about Lynch explaining why she went into the military, talking with friends about her private life, etc: no one cares. There wasn't anything in this movie that gave you a personal look into the war in Iraq that you couldn't find from any 5 minute summary from CNN.comHopefully, low ratings will keep them from airing this trash a second time.
