I spent the first 15 minutes saying "____ is in this?!" and "Is that _____?!" and I loved that. I watched for Josh Hartnett; I stayed for the bad guy from Kindergarten Cop.
I'm not super into war movies. I appreciate that this one was very much like.... "Look at how much this sucks."

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A relentless two-hour immersion in urban combat chaos, where a military operation spirals into desperate street-level fighting with visceral intensity. The film prioritizes the grinding reality of combat over heroic narrative, leaving you exhausted by its refusal to let tension ease.
