I'm not going to argue with all the "Anyone who knows military stuff would hate this" reviews because, whatever you know, if you give it a chance, you should find it has all the hallmarks of those classic stripped-back thrillers of old, such as Hitchcock's Rear Window. Enjoyed very much!

I have to agree with many American reviewers this film just seems poitntless, everyone has our POV but we know alreayd how the arabs americans as terrorist and americans see arabs as terrorist and schools got blowing up, that's cliche old war themes i lived through when my country was at war. if that is the the script writers could think of and the director could explore he really needs new script writers. I liked that Jiba could take out his water, leg, communictations in a few shots but that the only origininal idea in the entire movie. I really think JOHN CENA deserves an oscar for lying down on the ground doing nothing for the entire movie. For him to accept such a script is a joke. plus Isaas is trained to pick up snipers but all of a sudden behind the wall he loses his ability to trace where the sniper is took all realism. Americans need not worry as an internationl person do not see this as anti-america, war is war. but this film was was 88 minutes of my life i will never get back. from script to direction to how the plane takes off knowing a sniper is right there is the dumbest part. The director must brain damage.

Finally a different Iraq war movie !! Kept me on interested all movie and liked the actings...Dont like my review? deal with it

Over all, this was a decent war flick if you're wasting some time or washing the dishes etc.First, the one-star reviews calling this 'anti-American' or 'anti-military' are silly as hell. Of course the other side is going to say things against the American military. What would have pleased you? If he had just jabbered "Mohammed Jihad durka durka" the whole time? To be a realistic character he is going to say things that are against the American military... that's sort of the point of him being the enemy. Don't be so sensitive.The movie itself is well-shot and fairly well-acted. John Cena seems to be more of a fill-in to bring in viewers than anything else. The main actor playing Isaac "Eyes" does a pretty good job. To those saying he ends up "acting like a bit**", well, I imagine most people eventually would soften up a little after bleeding out in the desert for hours.Anyway, the pace of the movie can be a little slow (how can it not be at 90 minutes with a guy hiding behind a wall). The premise is a little silly once all is revealed at the end - the military has checks in place to not allow this to happen over and over.Military vets/serving members will find it a little silly, the decisions and tactics make no sense, the equipment they choose to bring, etc. But if you can put this aside it is a decent enough flick. 6/10 for being well-shot and well-acted, but unbelievable in too many ways.
