Great, just great film. Peter Berg delivered a superb film, despite the difficulty of the subject. The angles, the framing, the camera motion, all just great, underlining the gravity of the matter every single moment. There are only two things I'd like to mention: One, the character of Jenifer Garner seemed out of context, since a field agent shouldn't and couldn't be so emotional engaged in the situation, (something that changes in the second half), making her more of a stereotype rather than a flesh and bones person. Again, in the first half only. Two, all the team job didn't seem to matter so much in the end, since coincidences played such an important role in the story. These are two things I consider a script flaw. Regardless, Berg did an excellent job filming the script he had, making us holding our breaths to the very end, the last but not least important part of the story. I reserve the ten stars for the ten greater films of all times and give an 8 plus, due to the weak spots I mention before. Thumbs up for Peter!
