Dan Krauss' "The Kill Team" is a dramatization of the Maywand District murders which was previously covered in his 2013 documentary by the same name. Between 2009 and 2010 a small group of soldiers stationed in Afghanistan were led on a series of raids by Sergeant Deeks (Alexander Skarsgård.) Deeks comes across as a self-righteous [...]
Mere weeks after the 9/11 attacks a team of 12 American special ops soldiers assembled in Afghanistan. Their mission was riddled with unknowns, but their purpose was clear: to destabilize the Taliban’s hold over the region and pave the way for the impending Allied Offensive. To do this they would have to team up with [...]
“12 Strong” is based on the TRUE story, of a 12-man team sent to Afghanistan mere WEEKS after 9/11. We sat down and talked with the two, real life, ex-special forces, whom the lead characters are based on, Bob Pennington and Mark Nutsch. It's always a special treat talking to the individuals at the source [...]

It’s rare that the sequel of a remake of a franchise that started in the 60’s could be considered as one of the year’s best films, but writer/director Matt Reeves has done just that with the emotionally charged “War for the Planet of the Apes.” Five years after the climactic battle in “Dawn of [...]
“The Promise” – “There are churches and mosques like you wouldn’t believe.” In 1914 Constantinople, this is Mikael Boghosian’s (Oscar Isaac) reaction to Turkey’s most prominent city. Although cultural differences can be a source of tension and divisiveness, Turks and Armenians live in relative harmony during this time, not only in this massive cultural center, [...]
There are a lot of ways this film could have gone wrong, but Michael Bay sticks close to the source material providing us with a surprisingly effective war drama. On September 11th, 2012 a US outpost in Benghazi, Libya was attacked, leading to the death of four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. Stevens was [...]
"13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi" tells the story of the 2012 attack on the US Compound in Lybia that killed four Americans, including Ambassador Stevens.
