12 Strong Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Unfortunately the movie's central philosophical conflict, between the captain and an Afghan warlord, features dialogue like "Your mission will fail because you fear death."

Chris Stuckmann
The true story is served well enough -- to the point where you have a huge amount of respect for these men when you leave the theater.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
The Horse Soldiers' story is unconventional, and the film-produced by uber-slickster Jerry Bruckheimer-has been shaped along conventional war-movie lines.
RogerEbert.com
Christy Lemire
It's all solid from a technical perspective. Where the film could have used more power is in its narrative momentum.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
There's just as much to like here as there is to be frustrated with, the final product a mixed bag of good intentions, decent ideas and missed opportunities.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
Never delves deep enough to examine the larger involvement of the U.S. and those ramifications, but "12 Strong" manages to infuse heart and character into this adrenaline-fueled war film
IndieWire
Michael Nordine
Fuglsig's feature debut is ultimately less an action movie and more a procedural, one in which incremental gains and minimal casualties are as much as can be hoped for.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"12 Strong" does its best to tell a story of heroism from a dark chapter in our history, but its reality is much more complicated.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Hemsworth, Shannon, and Pena create real, relatable and yet heroic characters, and seeing them ride into battle on horseback is genuinely moving and inspiring.
Consequence
Allison Shoemaker
It's occasionally good, but for the most part, 12 Strong simply does its job.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
Combat scenes seem more interested in the faces than the fracas, missions are undertaken with no apparent outcome, and great difficulties loom and then dissolve like mist.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
What makes "12 Strong" objectionable - and what will also make it appealing to some - is its attempt to induce a kind of amnesia in the audience ...
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
"12 Strong" lacks depth but fulfills its mission to entertain.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
... the numbers don't add up; the movie lacks a discernible attitude toward those desperate days in America's history.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
This is not a movie with time on its hands for character development or scrappy political discussions. What 12 Strong does deliver is a rousing tribute to soldiers whose contributions went unheralded for years.
Seattle Times
Soren Andersen
It's a remarkable true tale of great heroism.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
12 Strong winds up being an almost-good film about some great American soldiers.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
More often than not, "12 Strong" feels like a sports movie, where all the stakes rest not on matters of honor and duty, but on a single field goal.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
A fairly straightforward and enjoyable movie about an extremely complicated and demoralizing war. Its goal is to focus on a small group of heroes, and it shows little interest in the bigger picture.
Slant Magazine
Keith Watson
As Nicolai Fuglsig doesn't allow any complicated thoughts about war, colonization, and mortality to hover around his characters, 12 Strong inevitably proceeds as a jaunty imperial adventure through the wilds of northern Afghanistan.
