I just rented this movie, and I thought it was garbage, if someone in the army watched it, all they'd do is complain about how everyone keeps going over the commanding officer's head and blatantly ignore and disregard his orders. Also, the fact that they only had one vehicle cover for a disarm situation, etc... etc... I noticed too many of those mistakes, a mili. dude would have a field day. Any one else notice they seemed to do EVERYTHING? even though they had a specific task, they did missions other squads would have been dealing with. Why did they seem to be the only people in the desert? There were a few people noticed at the base, but where'd they go?
Either way, it did have its moments, any time they were dis-arming something it was very stressful feeling, but not very "suspensful" since i had a feeling the gung-ho jerk guy would survive the whole movie. Also, no character development whatsoever; at the end of the movie that guy was still a self-centered jerk. He never learned the bonds of brotherhood or whatever, etc... never happened. A lot of it was predictable as well. Of course the truck driver who was car-jacked was going to escape right after he said "don't go anywhere" That and too many other predictable things.
In all, I just really didn't like it, and I felt that little text at the bottom that kept showing up, saying how long they had left, was a reminder to me of how much longer I had to endure this film- what was the writing even going for? A fictional documentary? The camera was shaky enough to seem so.
