unrealistic.

Rating: 4/10 (21 February 2012)

5/10. This film was a disappointment. I've never been in the army, but I just didn't get this at all. Would Williams be allowed to wander around Baghdad defusing bombs in such a reckless unprofessional manner? I just don't see it. Wander off searching for a supposed person who'd detonated a bomb with just 2 other men? Hijack a car with a 9mm and break into someones house? Wander back to base? They seemed to act separate from any chain of command, who's in charge here? No one apparently, like I said the supposed strength of the movie is its realism but it just seemed very unrealistic to me. Sergeant Sanborn suddenly turns into a expert sniper? Really? The moments of real tension were done well, but that's about it for me. A big disappointment given the films reputation.
