Great entertainment.

Rating: 9/10 (3 September 2009)

I know less than nothing about military protocols and procedures, so i could not possibly comment on the accuracy of those elements in this film.
However, as a piece of entertainment i would endorse this film to anyone who likes action /suspense pictures which feature characters who are human beings, as oppose to just cyphers for the on screen kinetics. The story is involving, well paced and insightful. The sense of danger and threat which hangs in the air throughout the film, makes for a very intense viewing experience.
All the performances, from the lead actors to the "recognised" cameos are perfect.
I feel this movie proves it is possible for an "action" film to engage its audience with a good character drama, between things blowing up.
