The story line was incredible, the acting good, but the camera work? Several people in the theatre has to leave numerous times due to, get this, motion sickness! I myself felt ill like at an IMAX and had to sit with my eyes closed. I thoroughly enjoyed what I saw and heard. Bring a barf bag just in case.

This is not a movie about the war in Iraq. It is a movie about the psychological stress of war. It is one of the best movies I've ever seen--and I've seen a lot of movies of all types. As a woman, a parent, a sister and a US citizen it gave me much to think about... long after leaving the theater. Serious action, suspense and thought-provoking drama -- this is a film you should NOT miss. I also LOVED that there was an absence of big names in the forefront of this film. It has gotten distracting to watch "movie stars" in films these days. Stars are so over exposed I cannot lose myself to the character--I am very aware that Farrel/Roberts/Pitt/Clooney/Cruise/Hanks are up there strutting their stuff. The actors in this movie do better jobs than many big names these days (they will be "stars" soon enough) and allow you to believe that they are normal guys and you are following them on an amazing journey.

One of the more reallistic depictions of the current affairs in the middle east. Not political at all really gets into what it is to be a soldier.

Great movie. If you truly want to know what it means to be a soldier for the US army - protecting not your homeland but building a safer place for other countries from insurgents - go see this movie. As an Israeli soldier - fighting for my country on my land - I believe that these soldiers are the bravest, most courageous and deserve all the support we can give them here at home upon their return. This movie has no other agenda - not political not historical and not personal - it's engaging and keeping you tense all the way home. GO

Not for the faint of heart, but well-made. The three principal actors are wonderful, and Jeremy Renner should be considered Oscar-worthy for his performance. There are also some wonderful small parts that are surprisngly good. The director does not take sides or get too preachy, which has been a problem with other movies made about the Iraq war. Easily one of the best movies of the year.
