horrible movie. I have no idea why it was nominated for so many things.

totally unrealistic (a single 3-man EOD unit having to secure a perimeter for itself? fat chance.), and the pauses are too long. in a sniper sequence, it took about 5-8 minutes of just showing them cleaning blood off of .50 cal bullets (which wouldn't cause a jam...) and waiting for the guys to come out. they could have gone somewhere with the whole PMC thing, but they decided to make it a minor element of the story.


the whole plot was a little foggy to me and my dad as well; what is the point? that war is bad and IED's are difficult to defuse? i mean, comeon.



I don't know. maybe spending the entire movie noting the discrepancies between it and what would actually happen made it difficult to see the theme. but i still would give it maybe a 1/10. worst movie of the year.
