Tha Bomb (pun intended)

Rating: 9/10 (21 September 2009)

A film that actually feels more like a documentary, this begins with a big bang (pun again intended). And whether you like what you see or not, it is absolutely well shot and executed (pun this time not intended). The actors are so into their characters that you don't realize they're only playing.
The tension is high and I guess one of the few things you could criticize, is the fact, that the movie is pretty neutral and has not a big Anti-Iraq message. But that would be besides the point. Why does every war movie have to carry a social message like a stamp? This movie has finer, subtler attempts, while trying to convince you, what war is like. And therefor a lot better, than if it were trying hard to be preachy. A movie that has messages, but is more an examination of human behavior under certain circumstances, than anything else.
