These men deserve to have their stories told.

Rating: 7/10 (31 July 2009)

As far as movies centered around the War in Iraq this movie has done the most justice of displaying the mentalities of some of the bravest men in the world. During my tours in Iraq seeing regular men come up in extraordinary situations was something that was always impressive and inspiring, yet to see the men of Explosive Ordinance Disposal (Bomb Squad) go out multiple times a day was the most insane. While everyone is trained to run away or stay back these guys were mounting up to go in. They are some of the bravest men I have ever had the privilege to work with and it is about time a movie was made for them. This film does a fine job of showing the many layers of a soldier or marines mind frame during the hardships of life at war. Great acting and great effects neither obscure or become detrimental to the storytelling.A little snag in the middle with a slightly unrealistic scene but we can forgive. In a perfect world a movie will come out that shows this type of realism of characters combined with the realism of the way we really fight over there. -USMC-
