Special Forces

IMDb 6.3 Metacritic 37 RT 8%

Skip it. Despite a solid premise and some decent action sequences, this 2011 war thriller squanders its potential with clunky dialogue, melodramatic romance that undercuts the tension, and a critical consensus that agrees it's more eye-rolling than eye-opening. Life's too short for an 8% Rotten Tomatoes score.

Plot

Afghanistan. War correspondent Elsa Casanova is taken hostage by the Taliban. Faced with her imminent execution, a Special Forces unit is dispatched to free her. In some of the world’s most breathtaking yet hostile landscapes, a relentless pursuit begins between her kidnappers who have no intention of letting their prey escape them and a group of soldiers who risk their lives in pursuit of their single aim – to bring her home alive. This strong, independent woman and these men of duty are thrown together and forced to confront situations of great danger that inextricably bind them – emotionally, violently and intimately.
