The film is set in 2004 in and around Baghdad (though actually made in Jordan) and has only three main characters: the young GI, Specialist Owen Eldridge (Brian Geraghty), the experienced African-American Sergeant JT Sanborn (Anthony Mackie) and their new bomb disposal expert, Staff Sergeant William James (Jeremy Renner), who, like Sanborn, has seen service in Afghanistan. James has come in to replace a recently deceased fellow expert, whose luck ran out.

 

 “the best and most insightful anti-war film about Iraq”.
