	Media	Author	Review
		Owen Gleiberman Variety	"On its own terms, the film is watchable enough, but it’s blunt and stolid and under-characterized, and at 130 minutes it plods."
		Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"'12 Strong' is both entertaining and mildly risible (...) The script by Ted Tally (...) is tight and elemental (...) The tone here is familiar and unvarying — it's all macho, all the time"
		Simon Thompson IGN	"A fascinating untold story about real heroes (...) The script was a bit clunky at times (...) It sits somewhere between not bad and not great."
		Ethan Sacks New York Daily News	"'12 Strong', perched on the strong shoulders and wobbly American accent of its star, succeeds in its mission (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune	"It’s not a bad movie, as far as it goes. In terms of context, though, it goes virtually nowhere (...) '12 Strong' sticks to the basics"
		Inkoo Kang The Wrap	"There’s wit, tension and intelligence in this tale (...) It takes a careful balancing act to convincingly fuse blockbuster feel-good-ism and insightful realism"
		Tim Grierson Screendaily	"A solid cast (...) and some striking visuals aren’t enough to fortify '12 Strong', a run-of-the-mill war movie"
