Holy shit.

I didn't know Sam had this in him. Like a cross between Dunkirk and The Revenant. I was more emotionally invested in this.

I thought the one shot gimmick would be Sam and Roger Deakins showing off but it works to the film's advantage as it adds to the intensity of the film and the urgency of the mission. BTW Deakins has the Oscar again. Just for the night sequence alone.

Can't wait to see it again in IMAX with the expanded aspect ratio.

FYI the gunshots and explosions are OD loud.

Easily one of the best films of the year.
