For anyone interested there is a decent enough film on Netflix called Sand Castle (released in 2017). It is set during the early years of the last Iraq war and revolves around an American infantry squad who are sent to a small Iraqi town to help repair a water pumping station to re-establish the water supply. Meanwhile the local militia forces put the fear of god into the locals to prevent them helping the soldiers.
The cast is British & American with Henry Cavill (Man Of Steel & The Man From UNCLE) playing a U.S. Special Forces Captain and Nicholas Hoult (X-Men & Mad Max Fury Road) playing one of the infantry soldiers.
I'd say it is around a 6.5 out of 10. It reminds me a little of Jarhead in that despite its best efforts it never really gets going but for all that there are worse films out there.
