It's good but jeez I wouldn't call it groundbreaking
It's a solid B-, a lot of interesting and smart ideas in a very well made film. But I don't understand why critics are raving about it this much. Adams is good I will not deny but I wouldn't say this is her best work. In fact I preferred Renner's performance. Also Forest Whitaker is completely wasted in such a limited role. His character doesn't extended anyway beyond ignorant military guy and he disappears from the film. I will say to most of you don't get too excited, most will probably like the film but just keep expectations in check.
