OK story but not best picture material

Rating: 7/10 (29 September 2010)

I like war movies to begin with, so I liked this movie, but I didn't think it was anything special. The movie follows a bomb squad during their last weeks in Iraq. So, since they are disarming bombs, there's not a lot of fighting or blood. It's mainly about one soldier, James, whom seems to have a death wish, putting his life and others at risk. He disobeys orders, which he would have been court marshalled for that, but not so in the film.
The movie is supposed to have lots of suspense, which I didn't think it did. Sure, you would be nervous if a bomb would go off unexpectedly, but you figure, since this is a movie, not everyone will make it.
FINAL VERDICT: I think people whom also like war movies should see this.
