I haven't seen it, and won't. It was made by the same woman who made Hurt Locker. That's all you need to know, to know the accuracy of such a film.

Yes, I heard it was an exciting movie but the accuracy is quite suspect.

It almost makes you wonder if a half-fiction reenactment is really the right thing to do. It's borderline exploitation.

I heard the movie was less about the raid and more about the CIA involvement from early on.
