It was probably my favorite of the Best Picture nominees... Which admittedly this year isn't saying much. I thought they did a great job keeping the suspense up, even when they were giving you dates/locations that you knew were meaningful (sorry to be vague, trying to avoid spoilers). Acting was solid. I didn't like it as much as the Hurt Locker, but that flick really caught lightening in a bottle (Jeremy Renner will never match that performance, and neither Anthony Mackie, for that matter).
