"Obviously that's a great soundtrack, and also my favourite blaxploitation film. I kind of remember growing up [thinking] blaxploitation films were silly, like I remember, I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, but then once I started getting into them, I was like, oh wow, they are really political movies that don't really exist any more, and what I wanted to highlight was the score by J. J. Johnson. He's pretty much up there with Quincy Jones, but I would love to see a biopic about someone like that who has this really long career spanning from bebop and going to Hollywood and starting to score for blaxploitation films towards the end of his career. These guys are just genius arrangers, composers, players, and while their struggle was within the Hollywood system, it's not like it was a face you know from a college dorm poster like Miles Davis or something - it could be played by anybody you know."

Nolan is a master of dark plots and cinematography
This is a psychological mind-bend of a film bringing together dreamlike sequences as well as action shots. Director Christopher Nolan gives you bits and pieces of information, and as the movie plays out the viewer begins to put the pieces together and the picture gradually becomes clearer. It's intelligent and engrossing, not your average Hollywood blockbuster.

Charming and wonderful
I love seeing older actors and actresses in leading roles, these days Hollywood has age washed EVERYTHING. It's refreshing to see the leads are 70+, their daughters are 40+ and it's charming to see how life changes for all the characters. Both me and my husband enjoy watching together, well worth checking out!

Well done!
Good acting, cool cinematography and a fun, entertaining story! The description almost gives away the story. However, it turns out much more intense and action packed than you'd think. The characters were great and the story unfolded beautifully. I'm kind of glad they didn't go the typical "leave-it-open-for-a-sequel" Hollywood ending. If you're into war movies (and/or "monster" movies)you'll enjoy this film. Really worth a watch!

A decent action film set at the end of the Iraq war. Three soldiers learn the location of some stolen Kuwaiti gold and plan to help themselves. On their mission they encounter the harsh reality of the current state of the country.
It has a fine cast and is well made, without feeling like a hollywood blockbuster. It has the right mix of action and drama, even a bit of humour too.
