Once there, the soldiers develop an uneasy partnership with the Northern Alliance to take down the Taliban and its al-Qaida allies.

VIDEO \u2013 4.5\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

12 Strong<\/em><\/strong> rides onto Blu-ray presented in its original 2.40 widescreen aspect ratio and a 1080p high-definition transfer and boasts sharp detail while colors are more muted given the mostly desert setting where tones are on the more gray side. There is some natural noise present but nothing overly distracting.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

AUDIO \u2013 4.75\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The included DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track is quite strong from the clear dialogue levels making way through the center channel to excellent low levels when the chopper takes off or lands as the LFE rumbles rather evenly instead of just shaking the floor or walls.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

OVERALL \u2013 4.0\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Overall, 12 Strong<\/em><\/strong> is a well done action-war-drama that tells an unknown story since the mission was previously classified. The performances from the core cast is well done with Chris Hemsworth showing off the grit and charm for the role and Michael Shannon always does. The Blu-ray release offers up great video and audio transfers while the bonus material was a bit lackluster.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
