That’s a good point. I suppose it was a matter of keeping things simple lest the running time get excessive.

There is one thing I could possibly criticise – I don’t think the film spent enough time developing and investing in the characters (in particular the six Americans) at the start of the film. So throughout the rest of the film I didn’t feel as connected to the six as I could have. That was the most evident at the end of the film when they showed the actors next to photos of the real counterparts, I felt I still didn’t really know the characters.

That’s about it. Other than that, it was otherwise a well executed film.
