I liked it though it was rather predictable. Ranks up there with Lone Survivor. I was waiting for the Stark tech to hit when Gyllenhaal had the glasses on. I thought this might have been a true story when they started to show pics of handlers and their interpreters, but then it cycled through different people/groups.

I watched this on a plane last night - thought the first half was great but after the mid-movie set piece (best and most thrilling part of the whole thing), I paused it to see how much was left and was very surprised. It got much slower after that. I didn't think the "dealing with bureaucracy" section worked, along with Gyllenhal's extended nighttime visions. I don't know why he messed with red tape for a month when he could have almost immediately gone to his superiors and friends for help.
Didn't feel like a Guy Ritchie movie at all either.

I really liked this one, the call of duty ending was a nice touch as well.
I was very happy to see how solid the acting was as well - I liked all the characters and thought they all did a great job.
I had no problem with the pacing of the film either.
Didn't even know home lander was in this as well. Starr was just unrecognizable to me.
