Beautifully shot, extremely well acted, and very powerful.

Rating: 10/10 (25 September 2010)

At the time I am posting this review America is in the middle of a war in Iraq. Despite it being a very large subject there have not been many war movies about Iraq. Now a film has stepped up to the plate to hit a homerun. This movie deserves to have its name attached to classic war films such as "Saving Private Ryan" and "Apocalypse Now". Years into the future I imagine that this will be excepted as a classic. First off the cinematography is gorgeous. My favorite scene is when they go to an area where a bomb went off. The cinematography is simply breathtaking in those moments. Then we have some very well written dialogue. You'll also find yourself laughing every once in a while too. Then there is some great characters. Character development is very strong here. You really like these characters, and you don't want to see them get hurt. The best thing about the movie though is the powerful emotion of how war can be addicting. That is what makes this film so great. So overall I highly recommend this experience.
4 stars out of 4
