This is an Amazon production and so you can 'stream' it free if you are an Amazon Prime customer. But I much prefer watching a movie in a big screen theater. I, my wife, and one other black guy about the right age to have been there were the only customers. The movie is supposed to be taking place after our war in Iraq was declared a victory by Bush 43 and we were tuning it over to the locals.
Mostly a conversation between a spotter on a US army sniper team who have been observing from a hide for 20 hours and finally decide to go look at the spot where a 'haji' sniper wiped out a construction crew on an oil pipe line, and the enemy sniper who is known to have killed at least 30 US troops. He has also been listening in on the US Army sniper team with their local radio communications the whole time. It does not end well. I left the theater with the question screaming in my mind "Does this war ever end?"
Artistically, I thought it was a better than average movie, but the pessimistic message will kill it at the box office.
