I'm a retired Army Officer who spent 11 years in the Corps as well and went through the MCMAP program. Military movies are usually so bad that I can't even watch them.

[@jonevansauthor]

I didn't know he was British and I was curious if American audiences realised it and clearly if you didn't spot it, he handled the accent accurately enough. He's a really good actor and I'd love to see him in more action films - but he can clearly handle any role they throw at him.

I thought this was a fantastic movie. What I appreciated about the main character was that he went out of his way to injure and not kill people. He was always calm and respectful.

[@mattiasalegro]

I asked the director a little bit about this on twitter and this was his response: "Aaron sprinted through training before and during the shoot. The amazing stunt team + military advisors translated the detailed fight sequences I wrote into something that passed the 'legit' test. MCMAP is a mix of disciplines, so we used Jiu jitsu, wrestling, whatever worked." The first part about Aaron sprinting through training is important because behind-the-scenes John Boyega was originally cast, and begun filming, as Terry before he left the project for a family emergency. Aaron was brought in and probably had very little time to learn all this, but he did it spectacularly. A lot of Jeremy's films have this sort of realism to them, which I think adds to the tension, but this is one of the few times he actually has an expert as a main character. So while I don't have names of the military advisors, Jeremy's commitment to keeping things grounded definitely helps with why they got it so right. Favorite film by far from him, but obviously love Green Room and Blue Ruin. However, there is one particular scene in Hold The Dark that you might be interested in looking at.

Jariko Denman was listed as the military advisor. From imdb: "Jariko was born in Washington DC and as a military brat grew up all over the world. In 1997 he enlisted in the US Army. After basic training and Airborne School he completed the assessment and selection process for the 75th Ranger Regiment and was assigned to the 2nd Ranger Battalion at Ft Lewis Washington. Jariko went on to serve in the Ranger Regiment for 15 and a half years. Jariko deployed to combat 15 times in Iraq and Afghanistan from 2002-2012 as a Weapons Squad Leader, Rifle Platoon Sergeant, and Ranger Company First Sergeant amounting to 54 months of total combat experience as part of a Joint Special Operations Task Force. Jariko Retired from active duty in 2017 after four years as the Senior Military Science Instructor at St. John's University in New York City and now lives in Los Angeles. Since Retiring he has advised on several major motion pictures, national ad campaigns, and television series' as well as continuing to train and work within government and tactical industries." As well as Rebel Ridge, he's listed as involved in Encounter, Project Power, The Outpost, Mile 22, and The Long Road home. I believe you guys have done a show on The Outpost? Apart from that one I've only seen Mile 22, which is pretty over the top, but hey it's Marky Mark.

[@user-mm1wj8il4n]

Nope! It's impossible in the United States Army to deploy 15 times to Iraq and Afghanistan from 2002 though 2012. Sorry the math don't add up and I would have to see all 15 deployments orders for me to ever believe he deployed that many times. How do I know that? Because I deployed to Iraq in 2003 which was a year deployment. Moving onwards doing back to back deployments I deployed to Iraq another 3 times making it a total of 4 back to back deployments and my third deployment was during the Iraqi Surge which became 15 month deployment during 2006 till 2007. My 4th deployment in Iraq ended in 2010. Guess what? My next deployment being my 5th deployment was to Afghanistan in 2011 till 2012. I came back from my 5th deployment injured and broken with the doctors telling me after my medical examine that they were amaze that I even lasted that long from the long term physical damage I was doing to myself doing that many deployments plus in-between training for those deployments. My military career was over in 2014. 15 times my ass I say!

They other 2 instructors moved to intervene and he just waved them off and yelled "BREAK IT UP" Then he said "ONE MORE TIME... BREAK IT UP!" Then like some mongoose slid in between and hit both with elbows in the chest to seperate them, then immediately hit the smaller large fella with an uki goshi, and the larger a seoi nage.

Frankly I like it more that way. It felt more grounded somehow. Like "Why am I rooting for the guy that kills people like fudder until he gets to the main boss?" The fact he uses stealth and low visibility to end a fight was scratching at just the right place. I love it when they use strategy. Like I legit groan at guns in fantasy because they take out most of the fun. I am sure you can have good strategy with a gun. But the Gore usually blinds me to it. Like for example suppressors in movie. They don't shoot that silently? The only time I actually thought a gun scene was cool. Was because of short animation on the premise that the sniper was the only one left. And even then I was more impressed by the fluidity.

I have tried watching this movie twice and have not been able to do so. Civil Asset Forfeiture is so prevalent, especially in smaller police departments where it seems to be used to supplement their budgets. It is not used as it should, and has become legal theft. I was pulled over for speeding 6 years ago in Long Beach, CA, (NOT a small city) and literally, the police officer ask me how much cash I had on me. When I asked "why", he said he was trying to figure out if I was doing something illegal. NO CRIME HAS TO BE COMMITTED for them to seize your stuff! By the way, I did not get a ticket, so . . . The police can claim they suspected you were going to use and asset to commit a crime, or that it is the result of a crime, and take it from you . . . it is not only cash; they can take your jewelry, cars, boats, houses and anything else they want . . . good luck getting it back!

I think Tyler Grey said it best on one of your shows about how Hollywood has to make things "realistic" for the audience in the theatre, as opposed to reality based realism. Interesting side bar - when I was posted in Calgary, they were filming the battle scenes from "Legends of the Fall" out in the foothills outside of town. The local reserve infantry unit had put together a rifle section of dudes that were literally. using the tactics out of the Canadian Army Infantry manual for the period...the director saw them putting in attacks and said "That looks completely unrealistic and nobody will believe it, so we're going with it my way 9or words to that effect)"...despite it being as realistic as it gets because that's literally what they actually did. Don't get me going about Owen Williams running through a minefield of PROM1's daisy chained together in "Behind Enemy Lines"...can't/won't watch that film to this day out of spite because of seeing the results of what those fucking things do to people and at what range they're capable of doing it on my first overseas deployment.

i’ve watched the movie twice and can honestly say i enjoyed it both times. it was refreshing take on an action movie. don’t get me wrong i like explosions and shoot outs and over the top fights scenes. but this movie was very entertaining and done well

[@monstafloppa871]

Great movie and I loved the review on the film, and the feedback on the fight sequences.👍

[@SaltStorm007]

This movie should have gotten A LOT more promotion 💯

[@erikdunn3910]

After I got two minutes into the review I stopped and watched it and then came back to finish up. Great call, enjoyed it.

In the Marine Corps you go to the Physical Conditioning Platoon(PCP), We also called it the Pork Chop Platoon.

Marine here MCMAP MARINE CORPS MARTIAL ARTS INSTRUCTOR.... best scene was when they printed off his DD-214 and saw MCMAP and the deputy was like maybe he's some type of navigator 🤣🤣

[@adeshas83]

loved this review. great job

[@remixisthis]

Very intelligent and deliberate action film that's an evolution path of the genre. I also really liked the intro scene when the main character was pulled over. The dialogue wasn't "movie"-ish and very realistic. The movie also doesn't try to go for obvious stereotypes. Refreshing watch

Rebel Ridge was 🔥

[@spencethadon]

Not all Marines get expert rifle qual. And failing to at least make marksman fails in basic and Marines cannot get promoted

[@sgtslaughter54]

Not all, but something like 60% shoot expert. Hell, I was a shooting coach shooting expert in both rifle and pistol as a LCpl. I woulda lost my mind if I shot sharpshooter.

Being experienced in Hapkido after living and working in S. Korea for many years and practicing in the States, I liked this film better Denzel's franchise. The discipline of this Marine's hand to hand combat instructor is the way of the Tao.

[@AlexButler-j3n]

The movie was a movie. My comment is about the vibe i get from you guys and how you communicate the subject matter with each other and the audience. There is a lot of talking heads that post similar matter but you guys make it easy. Keep doing what doing. Much success.

[@BlackFriday31]

Keep grinding gents! I love the content. Ooh Rah

If I'm not mistaken, Terry got the grenade launcher in the police station's weapons vault before coming out of the station. If police don't really use smoke grenades, then the film did not make a mistake with it since none of the officers were carrying it.

[@Bosay831Gaming]

Yep. That is correct. Good catch.

[@quinceysmith6064]

"Desert People" love it. Buck is a Freman. Dune 4 Green Beret!

[@HomieDoMore]

Thank you for sevice your gentlemen.

[@jenniefantilaga7172]

[@FNGACADEMY]

[@Yes-Gi-Man]

I feel you re the BJJ injuries, some are life-altering, weights def r the answer, and tap early, Tap often, live to fight another day

[@rafaelalodio5116]

I am just a blue belt, but I wish I had learned that while still on white, I used to hurt something pretty much every time I rolled. Your advice is very true, our pride heals way faster than our joints.

[@mattstakeontheancients7594]

Saw the PACE clip and was wondering what this movie was. Looks really good will be watching this tonight. Also listening to him talk about Denver PD makes me glad I live in the Springs instead of Denver.

[@tier1body605]

Love this movie. I agree this was a great movie.

I have the upmost respect for military veterans. I never got to serve. I ended up going to prison right after school so I just had to turn my mind into a weapon just to survive in there. and now university student trying to help people with post traumatic stress disorder.
