The Outpost 4K 2019

"The Outpost" does not claim to be an innovator in the genre, on the contrary - the film fits comfortably into the standard framework of such works on a military theme, but what Rod Luri manages without any doubt is to create a strong effect of presence that helps the authors achieve the set task in front of the viewer.

Although the beginning of the story did not look promising - another rotation of the military personnel, new faces arrive, lengthy conversations, whims, jokes and conflicts - the impression was that the viewer would have to be present in this military "everyday life" literally forever. Also, the first half of the film is filled with all sorts of banal dialogues, they say, let's "be friends" with the local population, the United States has come to save everyone here from the Taliban, but gradually, as soon as the enemy's sorties occur more and more often to the soldiers' base, it becomes clear where we are starting let down the creators of the tape.

If you are a fan of "13 o'clock" or "Black Hawk Down" - then "Outpost" goes straight into this category of the genre, closer to the equator of screen time, the viewer is served from the menu what they came for. Without any details of the plot, I can only say that the work of the operator and the editing of the film look great, most of the director's idea was realized thanks to the technical component. The atmosphere of horror and chaos is conveyed on the screen not that directly realistically, but with sufficient accuracy necessary to keep the viewer in suspense throughout the entire second half of the film.

As a result, "Outpost" turned out better than it was expected of him, the picture looks in one breath, it was certainly not without Hollywood "hurray-patriotism", but the whole film is not only about that. It contained a lot of details and characters that deserve attention separately, so if you are a fan of such action-packed works in the style of those that were mentioned earlier, you should like this picture.
