A watchable movie but a very one sided view of the war in Iraq.

Rating: 7/10 (19 January 2015)

The movie was very good and watchable no doubt, but not as good as it was hyped up to be.
The Iraqi scenes were excellent and the home scenes took a while to understand, but, the story line of Iraq was a typically American view of this and every war, where the Americans are the good guys and the enemy are evil.
The American one world view or one directional view of a conflict took over this movie. Some historical accuracy to give balance to the movie would have been better served for international viewing, but, the movie was never really created for an international audience as I see it.
Bradley Cooper was excellent in the role but the director could have made the reality of the conflict and what occurred a fair bit more accurate.
