Trivia: Sgt. Brian Scott, who was training to deploy to Iraq at Ft. Dix in New Jersey and was a technical advisor in this film, was subsequently injured in an IED attack in Baghdad.
This movie seems to depict a particular job very specific (if you read the storyline you know what I mean, for all the others who don’t want to read spoilers, I will leave it to you to find out for yourself) and very clearly. Woody Harrelson and Ben Foster are really great in a movie with a slow pace.
Apart from the slow pace, you will also notice that it shot almost like a documentary. The two main actors have a good vibe going on and their interaction is always great. The unlikely pair work phenomenally together. Some of the stories told seem to be true and the matter is handled very carefully. Whether you like the movie or not, will depend on whether you think the story has enough material to be told. I liked it
