The movie's not a fucking documentary. It's not a searing procedural about how bomb techs get down in the time of war. It's a fictional story about an adrenaline junkie who just happens to be a soldier. This "it's not accurate therefore not a good film" shit smells like negative Oscar campaigning, and whomever's doing it (and drinking the resulting Kool Aid) should really give it a fuckin' rest.

I mean, you don't have to dig the movie but to point at an article where a veteran has no clear understanding of the notion of "accuracy" vs. "dramatic license" and say, "see, this is why the movie sucks" is about as intellectually dishonest as it gets.
