Getting this to screen has been a hard job from something I read previously. Not so sure about this one if the main enemy is a minefield. Could be a grim watch. A bit different to things like Lone Survivor, Hurt Locker and American Sniper. Admire the soldiers but not sure I would view this as entertainment. Will wait for reviews from others on this one.
Wiki brief :
The plot is based on the true story of Mark Wright and of a small unit of British soldiers positioned near the Kajaki dam, in Afghanistan.
A three-man patrol sets out to disable a Taliban roadblock. In a dried out river bed at the foot of the ridge, one of the patrol detonates a land mine, blowing off his leg and setting into motion a desperate rescue mission.
His fellow soldiers come to his aid, only to find themselves trapped in an unmarked minefield, a relic of the Russian invasion of the 1980s. With no way out, any movement risks certain injury and possible death.
Out of this harrowing day came extraordinary tales of bravery, selflessness and heroism, but also tragic consequences, for leader Corporal Mark Wright and his comrades, who risked their own lives to help each other

Kajakai? I've seen this, it's pretty good. Bit slow who could doubt their bravery.
