This is an excellent film. I'm not a fan of American's military aggression around the world, but this picture does seem to capture what it was like to be on the ground in Iraq during the Bush administration's descent into madness. Jeremy…

The movie does a good job of showing the psychological pressure of the bomb squad team. However the producer had to juice up the story showing the bomb squad clearing a building (infantry would do that) and taking on a sniper at 850…

I just didn't understand it.

Great depiction of a fictional bomb squad in Iraq, interspersed with precarious results!

It may not be realistic, but it is psychologically very realistic. The best war movie since...no idea.

It is a well done movie, but, in the end it makes no statement, whatsoever, of any importance. Felt like an enormous waste of 2 hours.

I thought it was okay, not a big fan of war movies. Not much of a plot in this one.

I liked this movie a lot more than I thought I would.

Interesting movie. After seeing it I looked on Wikipedia and saw that the "wild" Jeremy Renner character is really not what the Army is looking for to defuse explosives.

The title of director Kathryn Bigelow’s horrifying journey into darkness is GI slang for any severe injury sustained in battle. But injuries come in many different guises and if war is indeed a drug, as attested by the film’s opening…

I am not on board with the vast majority. I wasn't overwhelmed with this flick despite its widespread high praise.

Not your grandfather's stereotypical war movie, this film portrays war against civilian warriors without uniforms and rarely seen, high tech weapons, homemade bombs, booby traps and a remote controlled detection robot. The camera finds…

This film should be required viewing for all Americans who forget that there's still a war going on. Kathryn Bigelow takes an impossible situation, men who are saddled with the task of disposing of bombs and is able to make a piece of art.…

An engaging effort with a good performance from Jeremy Renner but this is not as interesting as Zero Dark Thirty.

very realistic, unglamorized and often grim glimpse of current warfare. it doesn't feel like a movie ... well done!

Awsome movie. Really gives you a great idea of what our troops go through with a little bit of humor to lighten the mood. Wonderful acting on Renner's part

Very well done movie. A pleasure to watch. I would recommend this movie for all to see. No fast forwarding on this one.

Although powerfully realistic, action-packed, unrelenting and intense, the film lacks what the director really watns to tell you. She has just painted the screen with the war scenes, but she seems to have forgotten to paint it with soul…

Pretty good, really interesting to see, didn't know about this role in the military. But I did fall asleep for a little bit.
