Best Urban warfare film, post Black Hawk Down

The best movie about urban warfare, post Black Hawk Down. Set in the city of Mosul, this is a superb thriller that pits a squad of Syrian SWAT soldiers against Daesh or ISIS, in the last days of Islamic State.

The action is non- stop and is punctuated with solid story telling.

It is a hidden gem on Netflix and would be loved by all action / thriller / war movie buffs out there.

Highly recommended.
