Goofs:
Factual errors: On the cars captured from Kuwait in the bunker, they all have Saudi Arabian license plates. Those plates all state S.A. Priv. (Saudi Arabia Private Vehicle) and are white in color. HOWEVER, those plates were used from the 70's until 1982 in Saudi Arabia and were a blue/green color.

I have to admit first I was born without the gene that understands why countries go to war. I don't understand who is fighting, why they are, the whole concept is a mystery to me. On a moral level its extremely offensive and completely unpleasant for all involved. So by extension its hard to watch a war movie because I go in already confused.
But I know a good movie when I see one, and this is a very good movie in many ways. This movie has a heart, some fantastic acting and something worthwhile to say. It was not hard to watch or understand, especially since, like I said, I don't always get it. But I will be watching this one again. At times it felt like a documentary. All the acting is so natural, no one makes a false move and you can't say that about most movies.
And I also didn't know Infiniti made a convertible!
8/10
