A very good movie

Even though the more recent 'American Sniper' was a huge box-office success and, therefore, so far, the most popular movie about the war in Irak, in my opinion, this movie is actually the best one about this subject. In fact, back then, even though this movie was heralded by the critics, it was actually completely ignored by the audience but, somehow, almost a full year after its release, it still managed to end up winning the Best Picture Academy award. Anyway, even though I didn't care much for  'American Sniper' which was in my opinion actually seriously overrated, this movie was just really fascinating and I was on the edge of my seat during most of the duration. Indeed, I thought it was so much interesting to see a guy risking his life trying to prevent people from getting killed, including himself, instead of the usual soldiers ending killing a whole bunch of people for some usually rather dubious reasons. Furthermore, the directing was also very good and all the actors involved (especially Jeremy Renner in a star making performance) gave some really strong performances. To conclude, even if it turned out to be the lowest grossing Best Picture winner ever, I really liked the damned thing and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
