The main character is a reckless bomb diffuser and clearly an adrenaline junkie. When another Sargent holds a knife to his neck, he pulls it closer.

The aftermath of a bombing shows several families in distress and crying.

A suicide bomber towards the end says he’s a father but the main character is unable to detach the vest in time.

One character struggles with the deaths of his friends and his actions throughout the movie. Other characters hesitate, have unseen flashbacks, or act in ways that others may view as irrational due to their trauma. Other than that, it can be implied that most of the characters deal with PTSD due to their situation.

Almost the entire movie is shot with shaky cameras or bouncy movements. If you get headaches/nausea easily, this is not the movie for you.

Because the movie involves US troops in conflict with Iraqi locals, there are slang terms and one off comments that some viewers may see as offensive.

Around 29 minutes a kid addresses the black sargent as he tries to sell him something. It’s clear that it wasn’t with the intention of being hateful but to sound slick/cool.
