American forces occupying Iraq are ambushed in a Baghdad neighborhood. April 2004. The US 1st Cavalry Division has recently relieved the 1st Armored Division in its occupation of Sadr City, Baghdad. Everything seems peaceful until one day a platoon is ambushed in the city while on patrol. The platoon holes up in a house and reinforcements are sent to extract them. However, the relief column is itself ambushed, the main aim of the initial ambush. What follows is a life-and-death struggle against overwhelming odds. Based on actual events.

It's a technically well-crafted motion picture, but lacks a realistic story. This society lady can go to war zones as many times as she wants and talk to all the soldiers she wants and she will still never understand what they are going through – before, during or after. I'm sure she had good intentions, but this overly dramatic, heart-on-the-sleeve retelling of the story has only the impressions of a lady reporter garnered from a distance, not the complex impressions of soldiers or their families. This lady should stick to writing something she actually knows about first hand, not just something she finds fascinating. And yes, I'm a veteran.
