I saw this movie a couple of years ago when it was in the theaters and it simply blew me away.  I kind of forgot about it until I saw the 'Avengers' and remembered that Jeremy Renner(Hawkeye) was the main guy in the movie and that I really enjoyed it. I decided to re-watch it and share the awesomeness of this movie with you, just in case you have never heard of it.

The premise of this movie is that Renner is a elite soldier whose task is to disarm I.E.D.s a.k.a improvised explosive devices in the Middle East. It follows the tenseness of disarming the bombs, the hostile climate of the area, and does a great job with the characters and their development. This film does such a great job of immersing you into the story and helping you relate to the characters and feel whats going on. I found myself holding my breath a couple of times when he was diffusing bombs, and other times throughout the film.

This film did win some awards but I still feel like a lot of people didn't know about it. If you have time, I would highly recommend this film. In my opinion, this is one of the best films that I have seen.

I give this film 5 out of 5 I.E.D.s
