The film faithfully renders the look and feel of Iraq c. 2004, but it fails to make you care about the characters, in fact it kind of makes you feel that If this man doesn't care about his own life, why should I? Because of this the suspense isn't really all that suspenseful.
It kind of feels like an advertisement for the military; an open call to adrenaline junkies to come "Be all that you can be."
