Ratings & Reviews

R

another pseudo-sociopathic protagonist who breaks at the sight of a child's corpse. not a bad film just frustrates expectations because of the unwarranted female director buzz

Alvise Narduzzi

Immagino che il compito di disinnescare ordigni bellici in Iraq comporti dosi enormi di adrenalina, cosa che il film, ahimè, non fa. Nonostante una certa innegabile profondità psicologica nell'affrontare scontatissime tematiche sulla guerra in Medio Oriente, il resto della pellicola è un piattume già stravisto. Trame, sottotrame, dialoghi e dinamiche sociali sono le stesse delle migliaia di film di genere.

This is one of the best recent war films. Kathryn Bigelow delivers an exceptional film that perfectly captures the atmosphere of the war in the Middle East.

vatansever olmanın anlamsızlaştığı zamanlar zoraki bir milliyetçilik yaratılır ve halkın buna inanması beklenir.asıl mesele bu propagandayı hangi özneden çıkarak yapacağınızdır. karakterlerden yola çıkarak amerikan propagandası yapıldığında bir şeyler tamamlanamıyor ve geriye boş aksiyon kalıyor. Redacted(2007) bu yönden daha başarılı.

I'm not sure it deserved the Oscars, but it is really quite good.

Jim Fear

Guy has some balls.

Mark O. Stack

I like to aggressively refer to individuals as "a real wild man" and shelves full of cereal boxes don't quite look the same.

The last couple of sequences really did it for me, but the overall feeling is that the story could have been told in less time, with the same effect.

In its "attempt" on realism its way more propagandists than American sniper. The heroism of the stupid man depicted in a stupid movie

Watched only for the #52FilmsByWomen challenge by womeninfilm.org. (Albright would be so happy: I'm supporting women AND consuming messaging around US exceptionalism!) The absurd farce - the obscenity - of 'combat without context'; the conceit of using Iraqis as props; the fallacy of 'neutrally' portraying an imperialist war; all in a film so full of cliches that I kept thinking I'd already seen it. Boring and gross.

A bunch of random sequences that ending being anticlimactic (perhaps a metaphor for war itself). The performances were decent, though Pearce & Fiennes showed the most charisma (they weren't onscreen for that long). There is an immediacy to way the film was shot, but it feels wasted in the end...really disappointed by this

Ti piace giocare coi tuoi peluches ?Ami tua mamma e tuo papà,ami il tuo pigiama,ami tutto vero?Ma sai che cé?quando sarai vecchio ti accorgerai che le cose che ami non sono poi così speciali.Come il tuo pupazzo a molla.Forse un giorno capirai che è solo un animale pieno di stoffa.E poi ti dimenticherai delle poche cose che ami veramente.E quando avrai la mia età saranno solo una o 2 cose.

Extremely tense and doesn't overdo the emotional bits, pretty great war film

Adrenaline was definitely a theme of the film. And it captured it pretty spot on; the character, the run and gun camera work, and the quick editing. It had a solid, tight script that really focused on character development. There was also a lot of symbolism that I really enjoyed. It kept things moving, entertaining, while at the same time progressing story and character. All in all, a great film.

Explosive like hell. I was supposed to watch this to get me to sleep at 5am in the morning and finding myself wide awake at 8am and ready for breakfast. This is so thrilling.

jeremy renner (!!!) saw it for the first time at the cinema, wow. a nice double feature with the new avengers.

Sebastian

On second viewing the film felt much more disjointed and more cliche than i remembered. Some beautiful sequences and a taught premise.
