The Outpost (2020)

The Outpost begins uneasily. There are so many characters you’ll lose track of who’s who, even all of their names clunkily appearing on-screen. Director Rod Lurie also uses title cards to show the different “eras” of command at Outpost Keating but there are so many they don’t help orient you at all. Then, you realize that’s the point. While the characters become a homogenous unit instead of individuals, the presentation sets the stage and the combat scenes capture the chaos and danger of armed conflict like no other.

In 2009, Taliban forces attack Combat Outpost Keating on a daily rate. Located in a remote Afghan valley surrounded by mountains, it's a death trap that, on October 3rd, saw one of the bloodiest American engagements in the Afghan war.

The Outpost does not shine a good light on the U.S. military while simultaneously honoring the war's soldiers. Clearly, the Americans weren't welcome, the policies of the higher-ups were either ineffective or taken advantage of by the locals, and the base did not have the resources required to defend itself. Anyone with even basic knowledge of combat (or who’s seen Revenge of the Sith) would see the flaws in the defences. The men at the base are keeping their heads above water but cracks are beginning to form in the psyche of even the most level-headed troops. The constant stress is getting to them and with each attack, the Taliban are getting bolder.

The film draws strength from its realism and lack of clichés. The base’s Afghan interpreter (Mohammed, played by Sharif Dorani) warns of a large-scale attack so often even we dismiss them. How many times have the soldiers heard his warnings already? When Captain Benjamin D. Keating (Orlando Bloom) has a heart-to-heart with someone, it’s not to bump up our sympathy for him right before he’s killed; it’s because that’s what it was really like. Someone calling their faraway wife is just daily happenings. All of the dialogue we hear, the soldiers’ behaviour feels authentic.

As mentioned earlier, you’ll have a hard time remembering who anyone is. Even with Scott Eastwood playing Staff Sergeant Clint Romesha (essentially the main character), I could never keep track. If – like me – this makes you experience the film at a distance, that’s ok. The revolving door of leadership and the film’s sudden discarding of seemingly important characters are there to set the stage for an incredible climax. The odds are impossible and the combat is presented without an ounce of romance. People die suddenly and without warning. Acts of heroism are not met with grandiose fanfares; they're just lucky moves made on the spot to ensure survival. So much adrenaline is pumping through your veins you could get a piece of shrapnel in your arm and continue without even flinching.

If you feel cold towards The Outpost at first, stick with it. By the end, the picture fully allows you to see and feel what it must've been like at the time. The real-life interviews/footage during the end credits raise the authenticity to as high as it could be without it being a documentary. (December 21, 2020)
