Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk (2016)

19-year-old Billy Lynn is brought home for a victory tour after a harrowing Iraq battle. Through flashbacks, the film shows what really happened to his squad - contrasting the realities of war with America's perceptions.

Excellent! Keeps you glued to the story.

**** 1/2

Triple Frontier [2019]
Ben Affleck, Oscar Isaac, Charlie Hunnam, Garrett Hedlund and Pedro Pascal as ex special forces who attempt to rob one of the world’s most violent cartels. I liked it. It's a story of greed and friendship and a backhanded slight against how the US military/government treats the soldiers who have done the heavy lifting in wars for our politicians.

Triple Frontier (2019)

Loyalties are tested when five former special forces operatives reunite to steal a drug lord's fortune, unleashing a chain of unintended consequences.

The first hour of this two hour movie, is pretty much as you'd expect from Hollywood, with stars of this stature, all - "we are 'merica! we can go and shoot all the bad guys!",  then just after the half way mark, it gets interesting.

I won't spoil the movie, it's a good movie and well worth a watch.
