The Wall is actually a product from Nicolas Irving...a retired sniper for 3rd army ranger battalion.. he advised on set on equipment and movement...he also said they took "movie " liberties to keep the people watching..

now that we're in the weeds with weird-ass military movies, you guys should take a look at Mine. A marine stepped on a mine and couldn't move cuz that will set it off. The whole movie is just him kneeling on a mine for days and hallucinating about some shit back home and the mine is a metaphor for sth idk im too stupid to get it. It's horribly weird, you should watch it.

[@CertifiedSunset]

I remember that movie, it was indeed really weird, but for some reason I enjoyed it.

[@syyneater]

The infosec geek in me is very happy you mentioned crypto. I don’t think the general public really understands how it works, which does make a bit of sense. I’ve been in infosec for more than two decades, suck at math, and I sorta get crypto. It’s such a huge part of information security & assurance. Unfortunately humans doing things incorrectly tends to be the weekday link. Edit: the tourniquet ‘training’ would have been hilarious!

[@Tino.Armenta]

Nick Irving (Retired Army Ranger Sniper)was an Advisor for this movie

[@danfitz9970]

I would like to know Sean's opinion about Nicholas Irving being a technical advisor on this movie. He is "the Reaper."

It seems to me that this movie was written and made without anyone with military experience advising them. 😂 Great review boys!

The director Liman has two good movies under his belt that I have seen and recognise: Edge of Tomorrow (2014) The Bourne Identity (2002)

[@FNGACADEMY]

then this...

[@TheApilas]

@@FNGACADEMY If using one song to describe the career of this director.. I would pick Tom Petty - Free Falling

[@jmanj3917]

Idk, Brother. The way we did it was we requested QRF based solely on the enemies' disposition. If they were assholes, then yeah, Heavy Escort would be required. But if the Tally-whackers had a generally sunny disposition, then we'd let the QRF know that, yeah, they're shooting at us, but they seem to be fairly nice people, generally speaking, so a Light Escort or even No Escort was ok...lol

[@JohnSmith09123]

When they brought up the tourniquet, it made me think of the time that I nearly got kicked off of a ride along while I was going through EMT B School. There was a patient in an MVA, wound to the neck and he was bleeding out. The paramedic I was doing a ride along with thought it would be a high speed idea to put a tourniquet around the guy's neck, and he did not see anything wrong with it. I nearly got into a fist fight with the guy, telling him how he was going to kill that patient, long story short, his partner saw what was happening, and stopped the medic from doing any more damage, then I got my ass chewed out by the medic and by the lt that was working that day, for copping an attitude with the paramedic.

[@abdeljadan553]

I think in this movie, this dude was talking to his "commanding officer" over the radio... Which is hilarious to me because how do you not recognize that this probably isn't his voice?

[@FNGACADEMY]

exactly lol this director was drunk or hung over

[@Liberty-rn4wy]

The soldier literally had like 6 full magazines on his chest that he never fired, even at the end of the movie. Like they said, why not dump rounds at the general direction.

[@hungrybearcircus8427]

[@BipoIarbear]

Loved both these movies , but it really annoys me the Sean bean reveal that he's not sas , which which first of all he would never say he was sas , hed say something weird like "long range desert patrol" just something to shut people up , plus the ambush scene even a normal soldier would see that and I'd just say were elevated firing down , deniro character wouldn't know this he would be more the black side like Jean Renaults character, people manipulation and assassination but never be the person there he would just plan it just like the Russian guy plays . Ira wouldn't hire sas either 1m bounty on all their heads in the 80s

A Monday doesn't get better when I opened KZbin and saw a new B&B upload! Great episode! The civilian me was oh so wrong thinking the movie was an ok one.

[@ams914]

Do you guys think there was any way to make this film while not committing all these "reality sins" regarding SOP? Because I get that they wanted to tell a story about these guys being isolated and pinned down by a sniper, it's a great idea. But was there a way to realistically get these guys in that position or no?

[@zephyr3638]

I would say they should've made the scene into a valley that was a radio deadzone, then have them somehow get pushed into the valley via insurgents, sandstorm, etc. Then, have the two beside each other, John Cena gets sniped, and the round hits the protagonist's leg on the exit, providing him the opportunity to get to cover and be pinned behind "The Wall". That would set up the same thriller aspect. But I don't think there'd be any way to have a single sniper persuade the military to send loads of people to their death.

[@Liberty-rn4wy]

I work with guy who was a Green Beret in the 1970s. He said once to me (I asked him which watch they had in Nam) they didn't even wear watches. He said they didn't need them. So I guess everything they do is very controlled, like they are saying, you aren't just out there on your own.

[@joemama69448]

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The T in GOTWA is for time. If you don't have a watch you can't measure the time.

[@irastancheva7382]

The truth is Doug Liman is a pretty good and known director. He directed movies like The Bourne Identity (2002), Edge of Tomorrow (2014) and American made (2017), which is a very good movie about a real pilot (played by Tom Cruise) who worked undercover for the CIA and transported drugs and weapons for Pablo Escobar in the 80's. But I agree, this movie really isn't one of his good works - maybe the script wasn't good and lacked realism. It's not always 100% the director's fault.

[@IsraelTorres949]

dude you gents rock! I just saw this movie for the first time last week as I'm going down your reaction list and figured you weren't planning on doing this movie (for obvious reasons)- but was thrilled to see it pop up today on my list! Keep these reactions going - I learn something new every time! - oh, if you are taking requests, can you guys put the movie 2016 "Mine" on your reaction list?

[@OK-otic]

"Stand up and shoot your gun in the air so I can see your location! Psshhh" "Psshhh I am not doing that sir! I will throw a white phospherous grenade at the presumed sniper's location!" I think command is just trying to murder my guy, that was a suspicious order 😅

[@stewpacalypse7104]

I was watching something this weekend about Vietnam. Apparently, early on there was an instance where an NVA guy impersonated an American and called US artillery on a US position. Rounds were fired before they could put a stop to it. The guy being interviewed said the couldn't believe the NVA was so sneaky. They had to change their whole radio protocols afterwards.

[@crash406]

26:53 ... This shows they had no on-set advisor. The ONLY time the word 'repeat' is used is when you want your fire support to shoot/hit/drop ordinance on the same spot you told them to (sometimes with an adjustment). Basic Trainees get taught this.

I carried pen flare and about 12 flares in my kit while in Iraq on every mission. It weighs nothing and takes up very little space. And yes, radios are tracked and assigned. I could power on my survival radio and BAM!! From Virginia they knew my name and my location.

[@ExarchGaming]

Ahhhh this reminded me of the funniest goddamn story that a family friend had when he was in Iraq. They were being exfil from a location in iraq and they had been under fire, and everyone was in high tension it just wasn't a great day for them. they were waiting for a chopper to come take them out. Well they get to their exfil site and there is absolutely nothing around them and then all of a sudden he takes 4 to the chest, because the only fucking bush in the entire country, just happened to be 10 feet from them, with a dude hiding in it. So they waste the dude, and he was lucky 3 of the 4 shots hit one of his plates and the other had hit the vest but didn't pentrate, left him with a gnarly bruise. But his hysterical laughter telling this story about the only bush in the entire country just happened to have a dude in it hiding and they had no idea. The wild thing about this movie, is they had a ranger sniper, named Nicholas Irvin on set as an adviser. How the hell did he not tell them how this all worked.

I have never been in the military but (spoiler alert ahead!) the scene where the one sniper is down and the other behind the wall with his M4, the dude with the M4 should have laid down covering fire to allow John Cena to use his rifle. But somehow these Rangers never thought of that.

@FNGACADEMY. Hello late to the party on this one,when you said you don't research anything like Google info on topics or certain things from movies you were serious I now can see.There is a tourniquet that is for the hip and waist area that's for injuries that are larger than just one bullet round or are more than one round.Depending on that wound I would've applied above and below as well as GSW seal patches non vented entry and exit if needed which most likely will be needed.I gave you guys a reply on a helicopter question you asked on stealth entry if possible and how on another vid.

[@stephendoss]

One of the things I hate about movies and bullet wounds. Oh, yes get the bullet out and you will be fine. Such BS. Bullets are left in people all the time after being shot. You are only going to cause more damage and make yourself bleed out faster if you take the bullet out. Same for impaling scenes, leave the object in unless you want to bleed out before help gets to you.

[@LiamWakefield]

Yes. My father lived a long life with a small calibre round floating near his spine which the surgeon said at the time was to risky to go for as the operation would cause more damage than the wound channel had. As new techniques like keyhole surgery came in, they looked at the possibility of removing the bullet, but it never caused any trouble, so it stayed.
