Great movie. Could have done without one scene though I don't want to spoil it.

I desperately wanted to love this movie and I ended up liking it very much.
I'd say I pretty much agree with the IMDB user rating of 8/10.

There really isn't much of a 'story' to speak of, which is to say a conventional 3-act story.

It's more of a character study, spending 36 days with this particular unit and understanding what makes them tick. Puns are unavoidable...sorry.

I'd highly recommend that people see it if they can.

While it was already on my list of things to see, I was just told Evangeline Lilly is in it. Hubba hubba.

7/10. Pretty good for the most part. I'm just jaded, I suppose.

Blood on the bullets caused a rifle to jam in one sceen. Give me a break.

Just watched it since it won the Oscar.

Boring and dumb. Didn't even deserve a nomination.
