WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In the vast and empty Iraqi desert, two US sergeants (Taylor-Johnson and Cena) are caught in a trap set by a lone Iraqi sniper (Nakli), and the only thing protecting them from unseen gunfire is a small brick wall which they use to hide behind…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?
