A group of U.S. soldiers defy their country when they release mistreated prisoners.
Iraq, 2004: during a routine sortie a US patrol is ambushed and the young soldiers are forced to put their training and skills into action fast. A determined foe with superior local knowledge, the Fedayeen insurgents soon draw them into close quarter combat and a desperate fight for survival.
“For one day the film portrays a troop of US soldiers who get into trouble in Iraq – and all of this is very realistic and believable. There was no money for a really big war epic, but you get one and a half hours that are very leady and use up the available resources to the full.” – Letterboxd
“Few war movies give the American soldier his due like this one. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the Iraqi war.” – Amazon
“Where most of the war films are over-dramatized and uses the most overrated war-is-hell clichés, American Soldiers shows almost every aspect of a soldier’s life. This is the problem of most war films these days, more focus on quality rather than realism. The directing is also rather remarkable.” – IMDb
