This movie made me lose even more respect for the Oscars

Rating: 1/10 (24 June 2012)

This movie is absolute garbage. First off, it is not a good depiction of "life on the ground" from any aspect. Actually, strike that. There is one good scene in the movie. ONE. The depiction of looking downrange through a scope for a ridiculously long time happens and it sucks. That scene, I thought, actually captured the essence of what a crap job that is. However, the rest of it was absolutely ridiculous. Running off by himself in Baghdad? Get your head cut off. This movie has zero redeeming value. The fact that it won Oscars is proof that the Academy is an effing joke. War is a drug? Shut up. No it is not. Weed is a drug. Coke is a drug. Smokes and coffee are drugs. War is something that some men go through, and those who don't know anything about it ... should remember that.
