A powerful war drama that sticks to the core way after you watch it

Rating: Null/10 (6 September 2011)

Just a quick summary of the film: Iraq. Forced to play a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse in the chaos of war, an elite Army bomb squad unit must come together in a city where everyone is a potential enemy and every object could be a deadly bomb.
Okay yes, this is an action film and yes, it is an action war film but it is way more then that. Way more then a adrenaline rush, trigger happy film. It is that and a powerful in depth drama.
The acting is brilliant from Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie and Brian Geraghty. I am not surprised Jeremy Renner was nominated for an Oscar. The cinematography was seriously like wow... the bullet case scene and the explosion scene was just wow... The way it was film was not the normal Hollywood way of filming a war film but it was different and better I think anyway.
The acting, the directing, the cinematography was brilliant. Respect goes to Mark Boal (writer) and Kathryn Bigelow (director) for creating such an epic masterpiece.
Overall, I loved this film and I highly recommend it.
