The best war movie since Black Hawk Down by far. The FIRST war movie on Iraq. And a female director? Seems like a lock for the Oscars, no? This movie looks and feels SO real (remember when we all said that about Saving Private Ryan at some point) that you feel like you’re part of the action. The performances are stellar but just the movie itself gives you a really strong appreciation for the frontlines of this type of combat (bomb disposal) and the men who half to do this insane work. The story is gripping and real. Most definitely recommended. It will surely be rereleased on the big screen come Oscar time. It JUST got released on DVD. I HIGHLY recommend this movie. How the tell did this movie only make $10 million?!?!? I'm sad that this will lose to Avatar at the Academy Awards :(
