Exciting

Rating: 7/10 (17 October 2015)

After their leader is killed by a bomb blast, two members of an Explosive Ordinance (EOD) team get a new soldier by the name of "SFC William James" (Jeremy Renner) to take his place. Unfortunately, unlike their previous team leader their new Non-Commissioned Officer-in-Charge (NCOIC) is much more reckless and as a result has a tendency to expose them to much more risk. Even so, he is very good at what he does and the other two soldiers, "SGT J.T. Sanborn" (Anthony Mackie) and "SPC Owen Eldridge" (Brian Geraghty) continue to follow his orders even though they have severe misgivings. Now as far as this movie is concerned I will just note that it won 6 Academy Awards along with a host of other numerous accolades as well. It is exciting and thoroughly entertaining. Having said that, I must admit that there were some scenes which were clearly exaggerated a bit which affected the film's overall credibility somewhat. But again, I still found it to be highly entertaining and I have rated it accordingly. Above average.
