| Synopsis:
When a new sergeant, James, takes over a highly trained bomb disposal team amidst violent conflict, he surprises his two subordinates, Sanborn and Eldridge by recklessly plunging them into a deadly game of urban combat. As the men struggle to control their wild new leader, the city explodes into chaos, and James' true character reveals itself in a way that will change each man forever in a movie that the NY Daily News says "deserves to stand as one of the defining films of the decade." |

 One Star for bad movie. September 4, 2010

Don't watch this movie. Don't rent it. Don't buy it. Give this movie one star.
This movie is terrible. It's not worth purchasing, either on DVD, Bluray, video on demand, iTunes, or even on bit torrent. It's not worth it. It simply isn't. I know this isn't much of a review, but it's all I'm offering. Nothing to see here folks. Move along. YOU! Keep your eyes forward. Don't look at the train wreck. It's too Gruesome. YOU! Cover those ears. Don't listen to it. It's awful. You should rather go deep in the wilderness and listen to the screeching of hoot owls and bagpipes. YOU THERE! Don't hit that button. You'll never get back the money or time you wasted on this movie. If you download it you'll just wear a bump in your hardrive. If you play the DVD it will burn out the laser. It's awful...
I'm not kidding folks. It will burn both your screen and your retina. You'll be seeing terrible blurry images when you close your eyes. You'll see white ghost like images that will either annoy you or make you cry. You'll be blind. Your blood will run blue on the floor and vampires will barf at the prospect of drinking your blood. You'll experience Rigor Mortis while still alive! It will be like having lockjaw but you'll be totally aware of your predicament. Yikes. You looked. You'll soon experience searing, burning pain due to your rank disobedience.
You were warned.
 unconvincing August 28, 2010

seen many war movies and this is not one of the better ones. it is still watchable with a fairly original theme about bomb squads. the movie is slow at times and what kept my attention are the various bomb situations. character development was ok but i don't really feel like rooting for any of the main characters. the most convincing scene is the first few minutes with guy pearce.
for me, this won't hold up to classics like 'das boot', 'braveheart', 'thin red line', 'platoon', 'last samurai', 'flags of our fathers', 'we were soldiers' etc

Movie sucked, completely unbelievable. I apologize to our troops for the obvious ignorance of some American citizens. Characters were poorly put together as was the script. Special effects weren't even believable. In one scene, a car is supposed to explode from a bunch of explosives that are packed in throughout. Instead, the explosion looks like someone doused the car was doused with gasoline and had a match thrown at it. Don't waste your time...
This is just a plain and simple Hollywood action flick that "takes place" in Iraq August 17, 2010

The movie was great if you're looking for an action flick. Kathryn Bigelow did a great job with her budget and the location was pretty spot on as to the look and feel of really being overseas in Iraq.
However my biggest problem was it being lauded as true experience of Iraq. I feel like the Academy members were nearly strong armed to vote for this film as in "If we don't vote for this, it'll look like we don't support the troops." This film is a far, far cry from a true experience in Iraq. 15 minutes into the first scene, I was ready to turn the film off because it simply wouldn't have happened. The insurgent with the cell phone detonator would have never had a chance to set off the bomb. Throughout the film, what really would have happened overseas is eschewed in favor of hollywodizing the experience. Again, this wouldn't have been a bad thing at all as many military focused films will do this. However this is touted as a very accurate depiction of troops overseas and it falls very, very short. Ultimately, it is just another action film dressed up in military fatigues so it would win awards
Boring waste of time August 15, 2010

This movie sucked and the producers are now suing file sharers who cared to watch this filth. Vote with your wallet and don't buy the movie.
