watch a team of bomb disposal expert in iraq count down their time before they can go home . that in itself sound boring . every time that little caption come up tell u how long they have leave and it just cause this film with no plot to drag on and on . hurry up and finish your time there so we can all go home . i must be miss something . i be a great fan of war film if they be do well . this have jarhead syndrome . a film that at time be beautifully shot and but cinematography doesn not stop it from be totally dull and pointless . and get over the slow mo cartridge come out of the gun shot already . they could have save money and just get stock footage from any other film with a gun in it . i do not have any empathy for the main guy in it and i be constantly hop that his recklessness would cause him to die . in fact the film would have work much well if he have . i read some review and seem to get the feeling that those who have be in the armed force dislike it and and everyone else love it . i have never be in the force and and i be with them . it pretentious drivel . the 3 star be for the cinematography .
