Featured review
Novel, gritty and action-packed
Mosul, Iraq. After a long struggle the tide is at last turning against ISIS. At the forefront of the war against ISIS is the elite Nineveh SWAT team, lead by Major Jasem. After recruiting a young police officer to their ranks they set off on a another hazardous mission.
A novel war drama, as it is told from an Iraqi perspective and set against the war against ISIS. Decent story, well told, with some realistic action scenes. Very gritty in the war the battles are portrayed: the good guys aren't immortal.
Not perfect though. Character engagement is limited, largely because there's no backstory to the characters or plot. Things just happen without a context, making you more an observer than a participant in the film.
The reason for the lack of background becomes apparent at the end but it would have been very helpful to have some way to have audiences engage more closely with characters. A longer film, even a mini-series, would have been more ideal.
