Rated:OkayI like the point of view that Kat gives us from the life of a soldier, but i dont think thats enough. For me its not the best movie of 2009 -
Rated:ExcellentSome people think it didn't deserve the Oscar - I disagree. A no-nonsense look into the life of a soldier who chose danger as a way of life.
