I quite liked it, I was entertained, but it wasn't brilliant.
It's definitely the grittiest war film for a while though, but it went beyond that as well.. It was incredibly tense and at times breathtaking. And if you like that sort of thing it's probably quite good. The characters weren't particularly likable and didn't really go anywehere, which is why I don't think it's outstanding, but I enjoyed it a lot.

I'd just watched Inglorious Bastards, and the incredibly tense beer cellar scenes may well have taken the edge off.
I'd agree with you on the characters though. And perhaps go further. they came across as downright irritating to me, and I kept hoping for them to get blown up at the end. I honestly don't think I would even have picked up on the polt driver of the guy in charge being an adrenalin junkie, if it hadn't said so on the box. He just came over as a nob head :P
