A multiple Academy Award winning, anti-war drama/thriller. This masterpiece was carefully written and directed by industry mastermind Kathryn Billow in 2010, while war in the middle east continued raging on. The story of a bomb disposal man with an addiction for adrenaline is a captivating one, especially for any real military buff. The hero complex overarching theme, as well as great music add to the overall mood.

Great central performances, good ideas. Does everything that a Best Picture winner should.

this is what gets a woman an oscar? a boy movie about dirt and blood? bye. why the fuck hasn't Jane Campion won a best pic.

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

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.

War is nothing like this.

US, war.

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.

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.
