9th Company is a great movie, but the narrative is a bit strange and leaves you wanting for more. In particular, I wished that the boot camp portions of the movie would have been a bit shorter, allowing more time for the patrols and combat in Afghanistan.The amount of Soviet hardware shown in the movie is mind-blowing. Please take a look at the images below.
Favorite scene: an evening (or dawn?) exchange of taunts and shots between paratroopers in an outpost and Mujahideen in the surrounding hills.
Not so favorite scene: last stand scene felt a bit like taken from a Call of Duty game. Movies will be movies, I guess.
Besides explicit war violence, the movie has a sex scene. This scene has a message to it and it's not that explicit. But don't watch this movie with your kids. Or your mother in law.
Cheers,
