Watched the Mosul movie, was worried that it'd be "Hollywoodized" but I'm too interested in the topic. My fears were excessive, it's not bad. The urban environment shows an actual city people live in, the characters are placed in their context (e.g. talk about pelting American Humvees with stones as children) and the rifts in the anti-ISIS coalition (the unit, its Iraqi superiors, Iranians, Americans) are shown. It's gritty and the scenes are well made. On the other hand they didn't really add up into much emotion for me.
