the hurt locker

I saw The Hurt Locker tonight. This is a very solid film about the life of a bomb squad in Iraq, however they took alot of liberties with reality (and I know close to nothing about the military). For example, there's one scene where the bomb squad is suddenly acting like snipers, which seems rather unlikely based on their training & expertise. Additionally, there's not all that much plot. Its basically just a slice of life (over the span of about 5 weeks) towards the end of a deployment cycle.
