The Hornet's Nest (2014)

Sadly Over-hyped

Disappointment for a huge fan!

Admirable film.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

I have the utmost respect for the women and men sacrificing themselves for us in this war that the documentary was made from. I have no respect for the maker of this fluff piece. These soldiers deserve better than fake danger footage he claimed to be in. It's ridiculous that this actually glorifies their plight, with the utmost grievance. David and Christian, don't make any more documentaries that glorify our brothers deaths

To all those who are reviewing without seeing it and also rating the movie low who HAVEN NOT EVEN SEEN IT IS SILLY, this movie I thought would be okay, but when I watched it I was very fascinated and cried near the end :-) because of how the ending played out. (NO SPOILERS) best movie ever.I hope someone else felt the same other than me, if you are interested in wars you will love this, please try it, it's a shirt film but it's very good. I was on the edge of my seat. It was great.I was very interested in this and it was way better then I expected.This also shows how our troops go out and do their job under so much pressure but do such a good job.

If you have ever seen the woods surrounding Bastogne, Belgium? I watched this film I wondered if war truly ever ends, or does the scenery just change. I enjoyed the movie and about the father and son bonding in the middle of a war zone. It just hit me that, like Restrepo, the tactics here resembled the Thunder Run down Highway One in Vietnam. No solid Intel, just Gator Bait with bullets and bombs. That troubled me, because using Gator Bait tactics, the result is almost always the same. The Officers didn't appear to prepare the NCOs for an Op in the Devil's front yard. But then again, how do you prepare to fight an enemy, in their back yard, that fought the Roman Legions and the British Empire? I do not think you can find the answer in FM 25-100 and FM 25-101. I agree that we just planted seeds, really expensive seeds.

If you have ever wanted to know what it's like to hike through Afghanistan with our brave troops, here's your chance. The Hornet's Nest takes you on several dangerous missions deep in Taliban territory.Unlike other typical war documentaries, what makes this adventure such a memorable experience is that it's a father and son journalist that are leading the way. Their cameras take you right shoulder to shoulder with the soldiers as bullets whiz over their heads. You hear the lead smack into brick walls, rocks and body armor. There are even glimpses of captured Taliban video that show you the face of the enemy. To provide respect for the families that lose loved ones in the service that appear in this movie, the directors withhold showing the blood of our soldiers. However, the movie has a very emotional ending that must not be missed! If you like Military Channel and war footage you will LOVE this movie. You will see amazing American fire power and technology. It's a movie about heroes, a father and son and how America's bravest sacrifice all for those that can not defend themselves!
