Great film except for the sniper scene


My only complaint was, the Iraqi snipers were pretty quick to hone in on the position when the British guy misses yet, the American does the exact same thing and the Iraqis seemingly decide to have a break and a meal to let the Americans first find a fresh ammo clip, then clean it, then reload it?

That scene was dumb. The fact the Iraqis took so long before firing again took so much of the tension away.

It's called "Americans writing the scripts for Americans to whoop at!"
