I loved this film...

Rating: 10/10 (25 January 2015)

...and I even watched, I'm sure, a highly edited version as I recorded on my DVR from FX.
I cannot imagine what an impact war has on a person, though I have friends who their husbands are veterans of both Vietnam and Iraq.
I can't speak to the accuracy of the history in this movie other than to say there was enough "action" to keep me watching.
The cast was phenomenal, portraying IMO real, raw human emotion while being in the middle of a war zone. You do not know if the person approaching you is doing so to kill you and the others around you, therefore you have to be alert and cautious and treat everyone as if they're going to hurt you. In that respect, I imagine it to be spot on correct.
This movie is totally worth the time and effort of sitting in your living room on a dreary, cold, raining/snowing Sunday afternoon...or any other time you are in the mood to watch a war film. Jeremy Renner will pull at your heart strings as you watch him go from "Big Billy Bad Ass Bomb Disposer" to "Man who cares about a child/children" and back again.
