Summary
When a new sergeant, James, takes over a highly trained bomb disposal team amid violent conflict, he surprises his two subordinates, Sanborn and Eldridge, by recklessly plunging them into a deadly game of urban combat. 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"A great film, an intelligent film, a film shot clearly so that we know exactly who everybody is and where they are and what they're doing and why."--Chicago Sun-Times, Roger Ebert"The result is an intense, action-driven war pic, a muscular, efficient standout that simultaneously conveys the feeling of combat from within as well as what it looks like on the ground."--Entertainment Weekly"The best nondocumentary American feature made yet about the war in Iraq."--New York Times
