- the beginning sequence shows a bomb disposal team sending in a robot on wheels to deliver explosives to an IED so that they can detonate it. However the robot breaks down. A wheel or axle breaks or something. So the leader puts on an armored bomb disposal suit and walks out toward the bomb to manually place the explosives. Lo and behold the IED is triggered the the leader dies. When the robot broke down, why didn't they just pull it back using its tether, fix the wheel and then try sending it out again? Or send another robot? It was really dumb of the leader to try and do it manually instead of trying to use the thousand times less risky robot alternative.
- in the middle of the movie the team gets pinned down by some snipers when they meet a mercenary group. A lot of the mercenaries get shot and so the team takes their .50 calibre sniper rifle. Now this is a big gun. I'm pretty sure it takes specialized training, skill and many hours of extra training time in order for one to be capable of hitting anything that far away using that weapon. I don't think it's plausible that anyone on the disposal team would have enough skill to use it as was shown in the movie.
- also, the .50 calibre rifle jammed because there was blood on the ammunition? That's pretty lame if someone's design for a weapon could withstand having some blood on it... I mean especially since it will be used on a battlefield... where there's lots of blood.
This was a pretty good movie. I'd pay a rental fee to watch it.
