12 Strong
Every once in a while, movie publicists, rather than publicizing a movie, will instead pretend that movie doesn't exist—they omit the movie from their release calendars, they don't invite critics to advance screenings, and they quietly hope the film will just kind of sneak its way into theaters, tiptoeing right past any and all bad reviews. Such is the case with 12 Strong, a "USA! USA! USA!" war movie starring Chris Hemsworth, Michael Shannon, and Michael Peña, about a Special Forces team deployed to Afghanistan following 9/11. While we can't tell you how it is, we can tell you that despite being billed as "The declassified true story of the horse soldiers," it appears to contain zero soldiers who also happen to be horses, which seems like a missed opportunity.
