Leave your thoughts about Special Forces.
| Movie ChambersPaul Chambers"Special Forces" has nothing constructive to say about bravery or the conflict in Afghanistan. It's just mindless action, and boring to boot. |
| Real.comLisa Giles-KeddieHas an amusing, arrogant French Rambo-esque appeal to it that paints an uncompromising and lengthy black-and-white picture of the Afghanistan issue. |
| Film Journal InternationalMaitland McDonaghImagine Saving Private Ryan relocated to Afghanistan and Pakistan and you have the gist of first-time feature filmmaker Stéphane Rybojad's actioner about the rescue of a French journalist marked for death by the Taliban. |
| Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreSolid entertainment, a chest-thumping (and reporter-hating) recruiting film in the "Act of Valor" mold - but with a French accent. |
| Village VoiceChris PackhamFor a while Degan's serious charisma also kind of makes Islamic extremist fundamentalism look cool and badass, which could have been hilariously subversive if director Stéphane Rybojad had pushed it further. |
| New York TimesAndy WebsterDedicated to French servicemen and wartime journalists, Special Forces aims to inspire but ends up wallowing in melodrama. |
| CinemalogueTodd JorgensonStephane Rybojad has seen too many Hollywood action movies, because the director of this overwrought and borderline laughable French war film copies many of them. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleIt's not only Americans who can make leaden, video game-style exercises in dumb war action. |
| User ReviewIvan SFantastic action film. Piss on the reviewers. Great camera work and solid production IMO considering the film makers first time film. Will definitely be looking forward to his second him. This movie was what I hoped Act of Valor would be. |
| User ReviewMatthew CA bit of a cliche story line with a twist, the realism is high with accurate weaponry, vehicles and maneuvers of both the enemy and French special forces, only downfall is not allot of in depth information and I can't speak french. |
