Can't say that I enjoyed this movie all this much, but I do like your take on it. Interesting read.

EOD 99% of the time never even get withen 5 feet of a ied. They use robots and c4 and somtimes a vechile. I served with one of the most elite EOD sergents and the most ied he messed was 354 so this guy saying 800 plus is a load of crap.

"so there will inevitably be a scene where key information about what’s happening is withheld from you."

isn't that like every movie, ever?

i read an interview with ian mckellan a couple months back where even he--maker of period melodramas--said something like "narrative tension is mainly derived by witholding information from the reader." this ain't a war movie thing, man.

also, having a "hero" is not a war movie thing. and i'm not buying that he's a super one. i think by your definition, everything from Lost to the Bucket List would suddenly become super hero movies.
