Bring a paramedic ( EMT) in NYC must be officially, the most stressful job in the world. Film is well written, deep and controversial. General people don't like to face the harsh realities, and this film is exactly that.

Sean Penn Gene, protagonist perfectly the role of a burnt out veteran EMT. Everyday is chipping away a little from his soul. Gang bangers, drug addicts, dealers etc portray the decay of the society and a job that is thankless and soul destroying. The job has destroyed his marriages and any chance of a normal relationship with his daughter. The novice EMT Ollie, which is using the job as a step forward into getting in med school is naive and fresh. He is idealistic & enthusiastic. He observe and learn a lot from his mentor. While his other shifts with another EMT is totally the opposite. It is challenging mentally and ethically. Slowly he is also affected by the stress and horrors of the job. His own relationship and love life is destroyed because of it. The human interactions, the dialogue is mind blowing. I guess you must really work in the trenches of healthcare to appreciate the details which makes this film so great to watch.

I couldn't sit still during this movie. It was great action, fantastic story, great acting. Richi did a great job as director. The movie is so moving because we know the story is true. Men with honor serving but often left behind. Politics is a dirty game but people on both sides are the real heroes in real life. Met many Ahmeds in my life, risking their lives due to honour and nothing else . Atleast John wasn't a standby character and paid his debt in full. Truly recommend this movie, you will not be disappointed. For those in real life having a problem with rescuing Afghan families, just wanted to say what would you do in the same situation.

As Iranian in Exile, I found this series extraordinary. For once actually near truth a story about Russian involvement in the global politics. How little common Jo Blog reading daily mail, actually understands about this political chessboard ( global politics). It is all about Arms deals and multi- billion pound industry that runs behind close doors. They are all in it together Iran/ USA/ UK. It was refreshing to see how things actually develops in a complex world of politics and how little they want us to know.

They couldn't have found a better protagonist than Kerrie Russell from the Russians series. I am a big fan, she is destined for great roles. I will put this series as high as Homeland.
