As a fan of military films, I’d say 12 Strong lands solidly in the “worth watching” category. It’s not groundbreaking, but it delivers exactly what you’d expect from a war movie based on true events—intense action, brotherhood, and a dose of patriotism. Chris Hemsworth leads the cast with conviction, and while the character development isn’t super deep, the film still manages to honor the real-life bravery of the soldiers involved. The pacing can be uneven, and some scenes feel a bit Hollywood-polished, but overall, it’s a gripping ride. Based on the general consensus and my own take, I’d give it a 3.5 out of 5—not perfect, but definitely a solid entry for fans of the genre.
