I agree, I'm suspecting it will be a hard movie to watch. Knowing the 
drama and carnage was stuff that really well happened and for once, 
Hollyweird isn't having to add a lot of drama to the plot (from what 
little I've heard of the movie).

A major fubar of a mission that should have worked. The threat that 
RPG-7's cause to Helo's wasn't well recognized. Not having armour at 
hand to bull their way in was another problem. The fact that every 
mother's son that had an AK in the area decided to come over and take 
a pot shot also didn't help.
