When Sgt. Matt Thompson (Guy Pearce) is killed in Iraq while serving on the Army Explosive Ordinance Disposal team, bomb disposal expert Staff Sgt. William James (Jeremy Renner) takes over the elite team of Sgt. JT Sanborn (Anthony Mackie) and Specialist Owen Eldridge (Brian Geraghty). Their job is to make Baghdad a safe place by dismantling improvised explosive devises, and they must deal with the threat of death from bombs and snipers while on the job. Sanborn and Eldridge have problems with James' disrespect for the team's safety, and his risk-taking has a great effect on their abilities to carry out their perilous duties–a problem that will change their lives.

Genre: Drama / Thriller
Director: Chris Sivertson
Cast: Lindsay Lohan, Julia Ormond, Neal McDonough, Brian Geraghty, Marc Senter, Garcelle Beauvais, Spencer Garrett, David Figlioli, Art Bell, Jane Galloway Heitz, Cornelia Guest, Gregory Itzin, Paula Marshall
Aubrey (Lindsay Lohan) has it all: top grades in college, multiple talents, looks, and money. She also has a dark side–writing stories about a girl who feels she is only half a person. Aubrey is kidnapped by a serial killer and is tortured, losing an arm and a leg. Two weeks later, Aubrey is found, but the look-alike insists she isn't Aubrey, but Dakota, the girl created by Aubrey. Dakota, now with artificial limbs, takes on a life of porn while her parents and police try to figure out what's going on. A disappointing film.
