I actually agree with you about it not having to rely on special effects. That's a great point. There were some incredibly tense moments with very little dialog and hardly any action. For instance, the scene where Jeremy Renner's character, Sgt James, was trying to track down the detonator in that burned up car full of explosives while terrorists were filming it from the rooftop. That was a nail biter but hardly anything was really going on. Just an emotionally ramped up scene. My personal rating system is how do I feel immediately after watching it. I literally rate it on my emotional state. I'm such a girl. LOL. I saw it and I loved it. I actually agree with you about it not having to rely on special effects. That's a great point.

Did you see it? Here's a point system I created with four of my friends.
