I normally donīt mind the wobbly camera technique like in the Bourne movies, but this was too much it actually made me nauseous especially near the end during the chaotic chase sceneīs, didnīt know what the hell was going on.
It was also a bit unbelievable that some soldier can just decide to do what he wants, well maybe its different in the US military.
I had fun with this movie. I guess it's because i'm rarely bothered by shaky camera techniques but i didn't have a problem with it in this movie. At least, not with the motion. I did feel that the technique was overused at times. However, even though, at times, the shaky cam feels like a cheap exploit to induce a realistic tone there are other moments where it does work and adds to the intensity.
I would recommend the movie though. Like i said, some may have problems with the camera techniques but there is definitely some intense action here as well as a few interesting characters. It's nothing you need to rush out to see though, but i'd give it a two thumber up

And looks more a product of the studio system- meaning it looks stonger on formula elements - coming on the heels on the independently produced The Hurt Locker.

But the "chaotic" close up camera near the end during the chase scene, with a bit of wobble was too much for me.
Its not like the Bourne series at all, except for the actor, director and a fore mentioned wobbly camera.
As I mentioned though, it is unrealistic especially to those who have served in the military. Soldiers, especially of his rank donīt just run about doing their own thing, piss their superiors off ect and get away with it.
I can agree with you on that part, about the rankings etc... But I want to see a good story and plenty of kick ass action. The details that are supposed to be true, I dont really mind for this type of film.
I donīt "want documentaries" (although do like them) but I expect movies which are of a serious manner and like this one contain a political message to a bit believable.
I really enjoyed Avatar but didnīt expect it to be based on reality, because it wasnīt that sort of movie for example.
But I get your drift you donīt like me nit picking, it is a movie worth watching though
All the ways you wish you could be, that's me. I look like you wanna look, I **** like you wanna ****, I am smart, capable, and most importantly, I am free in all the ways that you are not.
