CGiii Comment

It has minor CGiii interest...but, Bigelow does include a small scene that might get you wondering.

Despite a tiny mistake, wandering into the realms of sentimentality, Bigelow does a fine job.

The camera work has been done before and possibly to death...she does manage to get you onto the edge of your seat - and then throws in a few surprises - good work.

The(ir) Blurb...

An intense portrayal of elite soldiers who have one of the most dangerous jobs in the world: disarming bombs in the heat of combat. When a new sergeant, James, takes over a highly trained bomb disposal team amidst violent conflict, he surprises his two subordinates, Sanborn and Eldridge, by recklessly plunging them into a deadly game of urban combat. James behaves as if he's indifferent to death. As the men struggle to control their wild new leader, the city explodes into chaos, and James' true character reveals itself in a way that will change each man forever.
