Trivia:

As you see the terrorist or the rebels are using M16s rather than Russian/ Chinese made Kalash is the because Kalash are very rare in the Philippines including its parts and ammo and would be costly for the terrorist...

Goofs:

Factual errors: The U.S. Marines in the movie are shown wearing black boots. In reality, U.S. Marines wear tan boots, not black boots.

Quotes:

Capt. Amy Jennings:God bless Ameri... ouch!
[She gets punched by the angry interrogator]

Solid War Movie

It's not a Hollywood war movie so don't expect big explosions or lots of military gear, but it looks pretty decent. The action...well it looked more real that the standard Hollywood movie, it was like a very good documentary ( I know it's not one, but still...).

The acting : well there were no "deep thoughts / lines" so not much to show for the actors and since most of the lines spoken by the "enemies" were in their native language it's hard to judge that.

There were no "bullet time/close-ups", no sound coloring or open wounds, but it looked exactly how it would like when ppl start shooting/fighting.

It isn't Black Hawk Down or Jarhead or even Apocalypse Now but it IS a solid movie about a bunch of marines doing their job and then going home ( no US patriotic bullshit etc. ).
