Best Picture?

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2010)

An incredible experience, I have found what I'm looking for this year. One of the few great films this year and maybe the best. The short participation of Guy Pearce, David Morse and Ralph Fiennes was a little unusual but the three key characters really stood up in the film. A documentary style full with emotion and breathtaking shots which show us how truly dangerous are the tasks that the elite soldiers are performing in the hot country of Iraq, disarming very dangerous bombs. You can feel every character of every person in the film. The new leader James, a wild man taking every risk possible in the combat changes the whole situation in his two men in the team. Doc is the only friendly soldier you can see, likely to an adviser like him, and the sudden explosion of the bomb next to him is bizarre, he joined them only to grant the request of Specialist Eldridge, whom he felt he need to see what fear Eldridge is experiencing in the action. This powerful film evokes a lot of emotion to the viewers, the fear of ending your life so quickly like breaking a toothpick every time you go and act upon your duty is clearly stated. Near the ending, James tells us that the only thing he loves is the job that he's doing with his fellow soldiers, risking his life with dangerous bombs and saving other lives. After his days with the Bravo team, he joined another year of hell with Delta. It's not a big surprise if I'm counting for this film to win the best picture.
