Super unique among military movies - has you on the edge of your seat constantly but not only because you’re worried they might die.

Under-appreciated modern war movie, in same ranks as American Sniper, Black Hawk Down & Jarhead. Immersing you in nerve shredding tension!

Renner delivers a performance worthy of a masterclass in tension and realism. It doesn’t just show the chaos of war - it makes you feel it.

Bomb disposal & dealing with IED’s on a daily basis has got to be one of the most nerve racking jobs out there, harrowing, nail biting stuff

Kathryn Bigelow’s triumph captures the senselessness and rush of war, while teaching a masterclass in tension building. Renner is the bomb.

This movie does an excellent job at making EOD very low on my dream jobs list. Next to kindergarten teacher, and spider farmer. Loved it.

A tense story of an anti-bomb squad in Iraq. Great direction and acting. Makes it a visceral experience. Liked Jeremy Renner’s portrayal.
