This actually won awards?

Rating: 4/10 (1 July 2010)

I was a little iffy whether to go see this movie when it came out. But I few days later I read a review that said it was one of the best war movies that they had seen. So I went to go see it the next day or so. I was blown away of how much I didn't like it. It just didn't seem realistic. Felt like I was watching a movie produced by a ten year old. Another thing, the sergeant goes AWOL, armed with a pistol, and ventures out into the Iraqi village. Seriously, what was that? And when they're trying to clear that car he just takes off his suit? Now what was that? And around the end when they just take off into the village to find the person that might have detonated the bomb. Since when can you just wander off when you're in the frickin' army. I wasn't sure if it was just I didn't get it the first time when I saw it so I went to go see it again with my friend. Big mistake. If anything, I think even less of this movie now. My friend even said he didn't like the movie.
