Better than what your're thinking.

Rating: 8/10 (30 May 2010)

This is not a shoot-em-up film. Yes there are some violent scenes that make you want to look away, but it is all relevant to the flow, the defining of the main characters, and it pays homage to the ugly side of wars. Bloody action scenes were placed appropriately and were short enough to not take away from the over all story. The acting was done well and the characters held to their faults, abilities, loyalties, all the way through to the end. This is a psychological thriller meets shock and awe meets true patriots. It speaks its message clearly. What is the message? Watch the movie and you'll get it. If not, watch it again.
