Tom Holland's critically panned movie gets high points for accuracy from a military expert. Having directed Holland as Spider-Man in the MCU, Joe and Anthony Russo took the helm on the star’s 2021 drama, telling the story of a struggling Iraq War veteran turning to a life of crime in order to support his wife’s drug habit. The Apple TV+ film didn’t click with critics, however, as reflected in its 37% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Holland’s attempt to prove his dramatic chops may have failed to impress critics or audiences, but 2021’s Cherry did make an impression on a military expert and real life war veteran, who gave the film solid marks for realism. In a video for Insider, Jay Dorleus breaks down the film’s depiction of what it was like to be under fire in Iraq, praising the movie for getting a lot of details right as regards enemy tactics, military hardware and the dangers of landmines. Check out his remarks below (around 4:37 of the clip):

So that's what we call indirect fire, meaning the enemy is anywhere from 2 to 300 feet away and they are launching mortar rounds. Either 60s or 81 mm mortars towards the convoy. It's a tactic that the enemy used a lot, because they set up the IED, and then once it goes off it disables the convoy - the convoy being all the vehicles that are moving through - and then they're able to lob mortars and cause additional damage.

Having a turret system which allows you to...shift the gun from left to right is beneficial because it allows you to transition from covering your element as it moves.

He either hit a landmine, and the landmine had to be situated just right...around the fuel tank for it to cause that big of a fireball. But in this situation right here, the only thing I could think of is, he ran over a landmine. Landmines were very common to find in Iraq. One of my first missions was actually low crawling to a landmine and going through my procedures as a 12 Bravo to dispose of it. It's all left over munitions from previous conflicts that that country has been part of.
