Many movies based on true stories can be tricky to adapt because either the story is made too emotional or too sensational. Only the Brave strikes a good balance between the characters and the story, and is made better by the casting of Miles Teller and Josh Brolin, both who shine. Jennifer Connelly and Jeff Bridges are also great in their supporting roles and you really get a feel for this group - and makes the impact of their sacrifice so much stronger.

Although it is really hard to ignore Miles Teller's rawness among the pool of talented and veteran actors (Jennifer Connelly, Josh Brolin, Jeff Bridges, and many others), I would say Teller did enough to generate some emotion. This is definitely inspiring and moving. The subject was definitely worth the efforts of …
