Best Movie of the Year
This movie does take place in Iraq and shows Americans fighting and dying. That might sound bad to some people, but the movie depicts soldiers in the most accurate way I have ever seen in film. They are your friends, loved ones, and, more often, the men and women you do not know at all who are fighting a war on our behalf.
Although the movie tells the story of elite bomb squad members, it is not hard to see that any soldier in Iraq and Afghanistan faces a brutal battlefield. You cannot watch the movie without thinking of all the young and older members of the military who are volunteers and are stuck over in these miserable countries to fight.
I cannot remember any movie that kept me on the edge of my seat from the first moment to the end. The heroics were not your usual made-up crap of movies and TV where people do impossible things and, depending on the hoped for audience, die bloody fake deaths.
Yesterday was 9/11. Please go see this movie. Maybe twice or more.
