I thought the characters and acting were stupendous. I didn't come away with war being addictive. It seemed to me that Renner's character wasn't so much addicted as he was in trying not to think about his experiences or cope with them. I really have got to watch this again. I didn't feel I got enough out of it the first time around.

They were wearing ACUs in the film but, unit patches in the wrong place and sometimes wrong way, flag in wrong place and occasionally on both sides, sleeves rolled up, crazy interactions between different ranks, EOD unit would never operate on their own....
