Operation Red Sea (2018)

Based on true events I found this movie surfing for work by a specific actor -- Johnny Huang-- who I am enjoying in Love Designer. Not a fan of war movies because I always leave with a feeling of PTSD and asking myself why did I subject myself to these feelings. However, with no trepidation - bored with no historical dramas to watch -- I decided to give it a go. Well -- from minute one to the end of the movie you are pulled in to the extreme level of action. You become invested immediately in the characters and their missions, interactions and will to succeed. The appreciation of the life of a soldier and their sacrifice can never be diminished but only hailed and appreciated and honored at every stage of their lives--- this movie is pure reinforcement of this principle. The director and production staff did not spare a dollar giving the viewer a REAL LIFE experience of being in a battle, fighting for your life, and sacrificing o fight for the life of others. The viewer has to appreciate every aspect of the filming and action scenes. BRILLANT!BRILLANT! BRILLANT.! I can still internalize the feelings of pain 24 hours after watching. I highly recommend this is a Saturday Night popcorn treat -- but be prepared. The edge of your seat will be where you are sitting most of the movie.
