Położona w odizolowanej części Afganistanu, otoczona górami baza wojskowa Keating służy do kontroli działań Talibów i przepływu ich zaopatrzenia. 3 października 2009 roku stacjonujący tam mały oddział amerykańskich żołnierzy, po latach sporadycznych i lekkich starć, staje się celem zmasowanego ataku ze strony talibskich rebeliantów. Skazani na siebie i odcięci od posiłków żołnierze, muszą zrobić wszystko, by stawić czoła czterokrotnie większej armii wroga i za wszelką cenę utrzymać oblężoną placówkę. Ich walka o przetrwanie stanie się świadectwem historycznego męstwa i heroizmu. (Polsat)

During the first half I was trying to get to know each soldier and not wrap my head around how much of a lunatic they must have been to build the base in that particular place, watching the parade of changing commanders and wondering what was to come. I didn't expect the second half of the film to be practically one big action set-piece, and such an intense, gripping and great one at that. The Outpost may not be a big movie, but Rod Lurie did everything he could to make sure that every dollar of the budget was used and that not a single blank bullet went unfired. At the right moment, he can use a long take to add to the atmosphere, and the viewer really can't be sure who, if anyone, will live to see the end credits. By the way, the end credits, which feature several survivors speaking, are really powerful. No, The Outpost is definitely not an ode to Americans in Afghanistan, it's a perfectly (anti-)war film that you'll remember for a long time.

A perfectly modern war film about defending a US base in the Hindukush mountains against the uncompromising Taliban. Honestly, it is much better than I expected, and if it wasn't for Black Hawk Down and 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, I would have given it a full score. Without a doubt, The Outpost is better than the recent Mosul from Netflix. Orlando Bloom and the likable Scott Eastwood are the stars, and in the first hour there is a very good introduction to the 60 soldiers who reside in the base. The character development is good, the military lines are accurate, and the calm before the storm is atmospherically appropriate, and probably no one expected a 40-minute war hell to break loose after an hour, which is intense, thrilling, and visually captivating. It's a bit disappointing that the gore was toned down, but it is still a well-directed, brilliantly acted, and suspenseful war film that I really enjoyed. Story***, Action****, Humor****, Violence***, Entertainment****, Music***, Visuals****, Atmosphere****, Tension****. 8/10.
