I just popped it in to watch while I pack. Anyone seen it? Any guesses on how terrible it's going to be?

Acting wasn't great, but what do you expect when they aren't normally actors and in front of a camera.

Hard.

They just grabbed the girl, initial extraction or whatevs. That bit of action was definitely better than the initial intro acting scenes, but hopefully it gets better. The shaky camera action drives me nuts though.

DH has to work tomorrow so he isn't watching with me and I won't be able to spot inaccuracies on my own. I'm surprised to hear that though. I thought that was one of the reasons they used AD guys, so it would be more true to reality than other combat movies.

And I think some of it was because the way it was written.
