This is a dark moody movie that does an excellent job of capturing a tired soldiers last foray into soldiering. More plot detail is not really necessary and would be a spoiler. Just let this movie unfold and enjoy.
The movie does a great job of portraying both sides of the conflict and making everyone human. If not for a few moments where the characters go off preaching PC politics I'd rated this an 8 or 9. Those moments took me completely out of the movie and it took some time to get back into the story. If I wanted to get preached at I'd turn on CNN or a televangelist.
Outside of that the story unfolds in a captivating way. The characters seem real and are people you generally like or at least can understand. This is a rare hollywood movie where the action is actually exciting instead the so over the top as to be comedic efforts that Hollywood tends to produce over the last decade.
