A thrilling ride from start to finish (sry for cliché title)

Rating: 9/10 (30 October 2015)

This movie is incredible. It for sure deserves all the positive reviews it has for this insanely awesome direction. It is basically not much more than a couple of scenes where the three guys stuck in Iraq have to survive different warfare situations, but you always feel how much is at stake. You know the whole time that within a second-split someone could die and everything feels completely real. The two main characters, tremendously portrayed by Jeremy Renner and Anthony Mackie, are also written so well! During the situations they are in you learn so much about them and they are played with such an incredible depth, I cannot figure how this is possible.
So does this movie show any big battles, or more importantly some sort of progress throughout? The answer is no, there is no visible progress for a soldier in this war.
Guys, this movie is one of the best movies of its decade and one of the best war movies in recent history, and, as it appears, for years to come. You should definitely check this one out if you haven't already.
