Good Effort, but Not Oscar Worthy

Rating: 2/10 (3 March 2010)

Speaking from the perspective of a Viet-Nam veteran this film deserves only 2 stars for effort. The vehicles and gear look authentic but the tactics displayed by the director is appalling. Surely this is not a real portrayal of the very brave men and women pulling down some of the most difficult duty imaginable. Where is the chain of command? Who's running this outfit anyway? Where did these EOD guys lean their sniper tactics?, from playing XBOX 360? More inaccuracy's than a typical war film it left me scratching my head wondering what the director was trying to say.. I mean is she saying that the US Army no longer has discipline but just consists of a bunch of cowboys on a Saturday night binge? Sorry this film is not Oscar worthy at all except as a fantasy film..
