Sub-par to Decent

Rating: 7/10 (18 December 2012)

Heading in, I was very stoked for an epic war movie. Heading out, I was disappointed.
The movie had no real point: you had one man and his endeavors in his bomb squad. He made his fair share of mistakes, but in the end, there was no redemption, or much less, point to his existence. While the war scenes were very intriguing, one man's apathy made the movie look bad.
Any good elements of this movie were overshadowed by high expectancy and bad execution. In the ending moments you knew that you had just wasted 2 hours of your life that you would never get back. The movie took turns for the bad, and it dug itself into ruts that it never got out of.
