The movie’s most memorable material is also more grounded. Read full review

The two elements never mesh convincingly, proving neither substantial enough to work as compelling drama nor sufficiently suspenseful as action-thriller. Read full review

Semper Fi is best when it sticks with the journeys of the individual characters, each with their own backstory and struggles. These men have always known each other. But something goes wrong along the way, and Semper Fi suddenly decides it wants to be another kind of movie. The transition doesn't work. Read full review

Solid acting , and rare semi-accurate military portrayal. Not too over the top or unbelievable. Good representation of military camaraderie.
