Manichean film where terrorists drop like flies by the dozen while we are entitled to 15 minutes of tearful melodrama for the death of a single "nice" soldier. Otherwise the film is effective as an old american action film not very fine.

It is the winter of 2018, the men and women of the UAE military are deployed to provide aid. At the Mocha Base, spirits are high as three Emirati soldiers anticipate an imminent return home. While on their final routine patrol, the three soldiers, Ali, Bilal and Hindasi are ambushed by heavily armed militants on their route, through a narrow canyon. Trapped, wounded, and out of communication range, the three soldiers realize the gravity of their situation. They are running out of options, munitions - and time. Back at the base, their commander receives word and realizes that the assault on the UAE army patrol was premeditated. A rescue mission is quickly put into action, but will air and land support reach the men in time, and will they survive?

Manichean
Ordinary battle film with mistakes
Ordinary battles, no real heros. Apache attack had eliminated most terörist, against resistance Apache fall back not to be eliminated. That was another the cliche sceen that I have seen. The strategy was fully absurd, after have been trapped the mines, the drone has not seen mine seeding in the area, mis communication was the absolute moment of the movie. In the end revenge has been taken, embedded with philological explanation of the the good commando of UAE. UAE troops were donated with US arms, seemed to me as US soldiers but talking to Arabic within. Wooden horse scene was the a another cliche clipped from Gladiator. Against all, you may watch if you have nothing to do better.
