12 Strong's reviews
Media reviews
The Wrap
"This story has ingenuity, tension and intelligence (...) You have to be very careful to balance the commercial and pleasant side with the revealing realism"
Variety
"On its own terms, the film is seen, but it is not sharp or emotional, the characters are underdeveloped and with a duration of 130 minutes it becomes heavy."
The Hollywood Reporter
"This is the closest thing to a John Wayne movie since The Duke hung his holster. Anyway, the tone here is familiar and constant: everything is macho, all the time."
Vulture
"The Horse Soldiers' story is unconventional, and the film has been shaped along conventional war-movie lines."
Indiewire
"Fuglsig's feature debut is ultimately less an action movie and more a procedural, one in which incremental gains and minimal casualties are as much as can be hoped for".
Screen Daily
"A solid cast and some striking visuals aren?t enough to fortify '12 Strong', a run-of-the-mill war movie"
