Watched the movie The Ambus/Al Kameen. It's a recent (2021) war movie about an irl event, Emirati soldiers were ambushed by Yemeni rebels three years prior. The scope is small. The story focuses on a handful of characters from a platoon, some other from a higher level formation, and a couple of rebels (eg. their chief and the sniper). Most of it plays in a canyon, they show bit from the camp, a corner here and there, and the command and control center. The pace switches back and forth, the rapid chaos of the combat vs. the quiet conversations inside the MRAPs. The combat gradually escalates. I don't think it is too realistic, but it tries to be. Equipment, weapons, and their use (I liked how the sniper was played out, the death was written poorly tho). The RPG should destroy an MRAP I think. While against tanks their value is not really in penetration (but apparently they can from certain angles). The director is French so I'm not sure how the movie actually represents the Emirati view, or way of thinking. The acting was not good, but passable, I've seen worse. All in all it was cool-ish. More like a curiosity as an UAE movie, like Damascus Time (which is Iranian).
