Tense Scenes Don't Make It Whole
PostedJuly 11, 2009

from El Cajon
Some very tense action scenes don't necessarily make for an overall great film, although this is one of the best war films I've seen in a long time. It's a character driven piece that focuses on the job. These guy are all about their function in the war. The job. Outside of that there's really no movie in terms of plot, which is fine because Bigelow handles these intense scenes skillfully. These guys are interesting. A favorite scene involves Ralph Fiennes on the outskirts of town, in the desert. That's a great sequence. The acting is brilliant. Nothing clever in terms of plot; it's nearly a documentary. Fine work.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
