I love how this movie does not waste time introducing and establishing characters, etc. Just right to it.

That paratrooper should get kicked out of the military for missing 15 stationary targets by such a distance.

This isn't a great looking film, but those shots of the parachuting troops against that clear blue sky are beautiful.

I think we have a thing for skydiving movies.

Not a military expert, but questioning the plausibility of an airborne assault in the middle of the US without the rest of the country apparently being under attack.

This is almost Hamas-level propaganda. "Show up and just shoot everyone in sight without thinking about actual military objectives."
