Bravo Two Zero - Big budget US remake
8 February 2014
Warning: Spoilers
It is very big, and full of pretty American movie stars with bad beards, but it is just a remake of Bravo Two Zero. Right down to them getting spotted by a goatherd and arguing about their options, and then still not coming up with the more obvious ones.

Try:

Option 4. Cuff them together before you let them go. Still safe for them but means they take much longer to get help.

Option 5. Take them with you for an hour before you let them go. That means you are 3 hours further away by the time they raise the alarm.

From there it all gets a bit Hollywood. I can ignore the seemingly infinite ammunition, because at least you see them changing magazines, it just seems they are carrying about 20 magazines each. Every time a taliban gets shot by an American, it is instantly fatal. Every time an American gets shot, or blown up, or hit by shrapnel or falls down a 50 foot cliff into a tree/rock, he just gets up and carries on as if nothing happened. One of them even gets shot in the head and carries on! This gets even more ridiculous near the end when this skill becomes transferable to the helpful Afghani, who is able to win a fist fight with the taliban leader despite being shot in the arm.
