For me it sucked, the disbelief was not suspended... but then again, the EOD is my current field and I tend to view it in a bit different light than most.  |
For me, medical stuff in movies and tv-series is pretty much the same thing - I hate it, when the producers have taken artistic freedoms about my line of work.
As for the movie, it was relatively entertaining, but I can remember watching it and counting moments where the protagonists would have been killed in real life. Can't remember the actual count, but it was pretty high...
