Only thing is most soldiers would not work with a guy like that in real life. He constantly risks everyone's lives and/or gives them more emotional damage than they already have.
Good film but there are a bunch of inaccuracies in it (search Google).
- its easy to say that until you are the person diffusing bombs. it takes a crazy fucker to pull that offBonSeff
- if you were to ask those soldiers if they would rather but on the bomb suit, they'd say fuck thatBonSeff

Don't mean to be a hater... I still think it deserves awards.juhls - I love the character development and study. There were just some strange scenes in the film.juhls
- As for diffusing bombs, every soldier doesn't have to be exactly like the main character to do their job.juhls
- Yes, this movie was very unrealistic. Like there's no way that d00d would have survived in real life.Khurram
- It's like the filmmakers are trying to take the piss with unrealistic characters.Khurram
- yeah, what were they thinking making a film instead of a documentaty? what a bunch of jerks.instrmntl

The films Point Break with hand grenades. I think its good but I can't except the way it parades itself as, 'this is how it is in iraq' `As if british mercenaries would be as incompetent as they suggest in that sniper scene. No way this film deserves more credit than The Smurfs, which is at least a true story.

While the movie does a decent job of providing plenty of suspense the clichéd I'm-a-wreckless-badass attitude that the main character had to portray was just boring and overplayed (possible really just overwritten). The plot was pretty thin and I felt like I was watching one of the many canned TV shows that exist today; antag + protag + personal history = generic story all wrapped up in a current events shell. I really don't get what the Oscar hype is all about for this flick.

so, are you suggesting that it's... a bomb?

The ending wasn't sentimental at all, unless you're a fucking moron that can't decipher subtext.
Will hated it back home. Don't you get it? He chose to go back because he hated his life, his baby, his wife. He'd rather risk killing himself than trudge around a supermarket. That's about as unsentimental as it gets.

p.s. Point5 the movie wasn't about plot, it was a character study, and a damn fine one.
Go back to Avatar you slack jawed idiots.
- +1. Fucking exactly.Khurram
- BoneCrusher.. I Disagree. I'd rather have Anne Colutre fuck me in the ass with Michael Moore's Dead dick then watch this shit.Naygon
- this shit.Naygon
- Only because Character studies don't mean jack all when it's made up. Source Grizzly Man for an actual character studyNaygon
- I totally agree .. it was a character study - and to an extent examined personal motivation.lukus_W
