oh it will def. win something best actor at the least.

I'll send you a pack of plastics from one of the BR sponsors (your choice) if it gets best actor.

But if it doesn't, then you have video tape yourself wearing a floral pattern dress while fishing from a public lake in the daytime ;D.  And post the video on here.

I thought it was cool but I didn't feel like there was any structure to it. I was sanding/painting stuff when I watched it but it seemed like it was just a bomb call after bomb call for the most part. I wanted some sort of plot or nemesis or something. Maybe I just need to watch it again.

I thought it was a really good movie but not any big deal.

I liked it, but I would not count on it winning any awards.  I agree there was very little structure or actual storyline to it, but it was a great look at the BS those EOD guys have to deal with.  Worth a watch at least, but I won't be buying it.

I'm fairly certain this film will win something. 

It is the best look at how Iraq really is that I have seen captured on film. 

Some of the innuendo's and situations are rather amusing as many of us who have been there can relate. 

I find the story line to be more based on "a day in Iraq" kind of rather than an evolving story line, definitely not traditional.

[.dsaavedra.]

exactly. the movie is episodic. i love this type of movie, movies that don't follow the traditional storyline, or have any specific plot. see Gummo they just show events as they happen, just like life itself.

Its in the running for best picture

9 nominations, tied with Avatar for the most (unless one of the lead/supporting actor/actresses is from Avatar, in which case Avatar would have more).

its GOING to win something. count on it . i'd be willing to bet best picture.

Awesome movie, first war based movie ive seen in awhile that hasnt felt cheesy, no cheesy catch phrase. i actually got kinda mad at the lead guy at some points in the movie lol which sounds lame he was gonna get someone killed though >

Dave, you need to upgrade your movie selection and practice watching and enjoying chick movies.

You will go to a few chick movies with your new girlfriends at college so get ready to sit and groan for two hours.

Watch out for the movie Emma. I groaned through that one.  ;D   ;D   ;D
