A disappointment

Rating: 5/10 (9 December 2010)

I didn't see the movie till i came to know that it had won 6 Academy Awards.This really got my expectations high.But it seriously disappoints if you watch the movie with that expectation. Had i not watched it with the 'Won-6-Oscars' tag then maybe it would've been better.
The start and the initial buildup of the story is good.But halfway through the movie it starts leaking out.Moreover towards the end you really wonder where's the story leading? The story is all over the place and really you don't understand what the characters are up to. I mean come on,William is running all over Baghdad at night alone looking for a kid he thought was dead?
BUT keeping those things aside, i really liked the defusing sequences. They are fast and real and very well shot. This and the last shot of the movie were the only things which i liked about the movie.I can't comment on the technicalities of the movie but keeping that aside it was a major disappointment for me...
