Really good, but doesn't deserve six oscars.clarafpicado
Very well done but also very boring (to me).I thought it was very realistic but after reading many reviews I found out it isn't....oh well...
Siskoid
I respect its documentary style - sometimes forgetting that they weren't really filming in Baghdad - but then the action movie tropes (the maverick hero) seemed to work against the style. Then again, the events are based on the scriptwriter's observations while embedded with a bomb squad in 2004 (and his bits are the most interesting thing about the commentary track), so it may be a case of life imitating art. Certainly, while there is an "arc" to follow, there isn't really a plot. It made me think of Platoon (without Oliver Stone, which is a good thing) in its portrait of the Iraq OccupationLimbesdautomne
Nice dud for audience hooked on adrenaline. A good war film is a film which questioning the war, not which promote it. Over.Read more in French on La Saveur des goƻts amers.

A fairly strong war movie that doesn't quite reach the emotional depth and resonance it strives for.filmyjo
Pretty normal and boring war movie.. 5/10.Aramir
This movie won 6 Oscars? Seriously?mono-no-aware
The last two minutes are handled stupidly and feel like AAA Hollywood BS, but it's an otherwise very powerful film.A Blue Roar
I did a tour as a combat engineer in Afghanistan, and during bomb training we had a lot of good laughs about what NOT to do, as seen in this movie. It is so unrealistic it almost becomes a comedy.BigAwesomeBLT
Felt very real and authentic. Great amount of tension and some beautiful shots. Quite slow in places but I think it needed that to push the tension.Yankeefan03
To the people that think this movie is accurate ask a veteran of the war. A cowboy movie set in a real war. Sad how much praise this got.rakesh
boring movie.....(5/10)SkilledLunatic
That Taliban who killed Ralph Fiennes had amazing aim, holy shit.Joker of Gotham
Incredible work by the director and incredible work by the writer he does a fantastic job with the main character. Jeremy Renner is fantastic with this character, the performance is the best part of this movie, no doubt, that was Oscar worthy for sure.4.25/5
