Okay,whether this story deserved Oscar stardom-i sincerely don't know because:
1. There have been quite a few films already with the Iraqi/Afghanistan war "enchalata" in the background playing a big huge white elephant of a character-and all these films in my humble opinion are equally as good,intense and moving. Examples?-In the valley of Eli,The lucky ones,Stop loss and even Body of lies("even" because its a Ridley Scott film,meaning some drama with a LOT of smart serious firework action)
2. And it's a story about the guys in the army who are basically the bomb squad and it may seem simple enough-but its not just about them as soldiers in dark and awful situation but also about "them"in this place where anybody or thing could be a ticking bomb.The thing is was this enough of a plot to get such critical acclaim?
Well i thoroughly enjoyed the movie. I think its the power contained in most scenes of the movie that works so well. Storyline scenes i hadn't scene in other movies about this war,For example a soldier in a local man's house ...talking,a suspicious human bomb begging for his life, a rockstar of a soldier who gets a suicidal high from finding and dis-arming "impossible explosives"
it was just another interesting side to the story of the soldiers out there and it worked. And a woman directed this very manly flick.NIICEE!

I've been made to understand that i can be quite opinionated about the movies we see, and fancy myself insightful on matters of stories on film(or screen). So i'm here to blab and blog about film(heart warming cliche maybe?) i love film. An unofficial good film critic here to pound out what I think...In My Humble Opinion.
