http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/18/THE-UNIT----Every-Step-You-Take.aspx One thing I never expected THE UNIT to tackle so well was the psychological aspect of being in a life-or-death combat situation. It’s the kind of deep, probing examination I pretty much figured to be reserved for documentaries and Oliver Stone films. However in this week’s episode that examination was the central theme of a well-plotted, well-acted and generally pleasing bit of TV. Bob, Mack and Hector were on assignment in the war-torn African city of Abidjan, tasked with guiding a U.S. Diplomat, his family and colleagues from an embassy to an extraction point where they would be picked up by U.S. Soldiers. With rebel insurgents on patrol, and the city being shelled with mortars, time was short. Bob broke off to locate a young U.S. official, his wife and infant child, while Mack and Hector inadvertently led their charges into the middle of a mine field—a fact they realized only after one of the charges, stricken with panic, got himself blown up real good. Mack and Hector were faced with a serious dilemma: take the time to slowly, properly navigate the mine filed and risk getting shot by rebels; or hightail it through the field and risk getting blown to bits. Opting for safety, our heroes tried to take things a step at the time, without losing control of their panicked charges. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/18/THE-UNIT----Every-Step-You-Take.aspx 77 60
