Not quite "Point Break" but still an excellent film!

Rating: 8/10 (26 February 2010)

Pretty excellent film right here. Bigelow is officially one of my favorite directors. Ever since "Point Break" she's been on my watch list. She really deserves the Oscar for best director, and I hope she gets it rather than her ex.
Renner was a pleasure to watch as an adrenaline junkie. I enjoyed how the script is unbiased in regards to the countries involved with the Iraq war. It's more about the day to day workers that keep the gears going in any war, and the ramifications of their job on their personal lives. No matter what side you're on, you'll enjoy this flick.
The cinematography was top notch. The gritty super 16 mm did the story justice along with the HD counterpart. I don't think this film would have felt the same way if it was shot on 35 mm.
Please check out this film, it's quite excellent. But also check out Bigelow's "Point Break".
