Warhorse One

Mindless action flick

"A poignant tale of an unlikely bond forged in the crucible of conflict."

The comment section is just a bunch of pseudo-intellectuals pretending to understand. With their level of expertise, they're really not qualified to judge whether a military movie is a "miracle drama" or not. The tactical movements are actually very realistic: checking the remaining rounds when switching magazines, discarding the empty ones and keeping the partially used ones; alternating between bursts and aimed shots; switching hands while holding the weapon; using ballistic plates and small computers for protection; having civilians hide behind ballistic plates in a desperate last stand; habitually racking the bolt after picking up a weapon, ejecting a live round if the chamber is already loaded... Therefore, it's definitely worth watching.

Another lone hero movie set against the backdrop of the Afghanistan War. Unfortunately, the director, with their acting background, seems to be a bit of a sentimentalist. Taking on writing, directing, and acting roles, the script lacks depth, and the film indulges too much in emotional expression with a constant stream of music. The narrative feels lengthy, but the details are not rich enough. Having seen many films, this one constantly borrows from, or rather pays homage to, them, evoking scenes from many famous movies.

Lacks large-scale scenes, but the tactical maneuvers and details are meticulously depicted, giving off a vibe reminiscent of playing "Delta Force" and "Call of Duty" back in the day. The overall pacing and fluidity are slightly lacking. Considering this guy wrote, directed, and starred in it himself, the courage and execution are quite commendable.

The film "Warhorse One" is a gripping tale of survival and sacrifice set against the harsh backdrop of Afghanistan. It's a blend of intense action and emotional depth, as Master Chief faces not only the Taliban but also his own demons in this harrowing journey to protect the child. The relentless setting and human drama make it a compelling watch.
