good movie but dead beat topic

Rating: 8/10 (13 January 2010)

War and Holocaust movies bore me to death. These genres have been one-sided mindless drudgery and not really balanced, mostly in favor of countries where the movies are produced from since those World War II Hollywood movies. This movie has gritty sequences of bomb-squad keeping their life on the line. Well acted, but only looked from eyes of bomb squad. Human decision errors (stupidity of what if it is not a suicide bomber? looking for a family of dead kid, personal relationships, contrast of abundance (cereals) in America and poor kids selling pirated dvds in Baghdad etc.), frustrations are well depicted. It is still a one point of view of looking at war that will give you day to day life of bomb-squad (EOD). But there are so many stupid decisions been taken in/pre/post Iraq War. 'Green Zone' (Matt Damon) depicts that another point of view. There are several other books/movies/documentaries on such war topic that is beaten to death - Body of Lies,Saving Jessica Lynch,The Lucky Ones, Stoploss etc. We already lost last decade in this. Lets move on. Stop creating movies on these two genres.
