A small crumbling wall is the only thing protecting an American soldier from an Iraqi super sniper in this thriller with a unique premise, but the psychological tension is lessened by two things: the not very likely nor insightful exchanges that take place via earpiece between the two adversaries, and the litany of rookie mistakes made by the American soldier which by movie's end proves such a comprehensive list it can not simply be dismissed as the result of the soldier's youth, his being wounded, his fear, nor his dehydration from being stuck in the searing desert heat.
