Dear fans, so sorry but you just don't have 5 minute fist fights on an assignment or any other time when you are trained to kill on first contact. You always have multiple knives and use them frequently in close quarter combat. If it takes more than two seconds to kill an obstacle the "operator" is seriously lacking skills. Bare handed fighting just doesn't happen.
The guys dropping from helicopters were grossly unskilled. When dropping into a kill zone you always have your weapon on-line and ready with your strong hand while working your rappel with your weak hand. Additionally every one on the drop line has a target zone they cover and they are coordinated to cover targets tactically in the air and move in coordinated teams on the ground covering all target areas.
Highly trained crews pick targets, fire on them, and provide cover fire on the way to ground and you haul ass getting there. You drop like a rock, but land on your feet. Your gun is always on-line. Always, always, always on-line. If your long gun or side arm is not on-line your knife is always ready for a quick kill of an unexpected surprise. Fist fights just don't happen with military grade operators.
I found it impossible to slip into a "willful suspension of disbelief" and enjoy the movie. Everyone in this movie has zero tactical knowledge and their antics would get everyone on their team killed or captured in no time at all. In short, IMHO the screenplay is awful, as is the action, special effects, direction, and acting.
