Undescribable Perfection
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
this is not the worst film i have seen, people might think my review is crazy, but this movie has accurate props, some good sets, crisp imaging, really good special effects (its not cheesy at all it look really good) i mean hey, this movie could have been one of those really crappy camera looking type of deals, with bad props (shotguns with clips on them, or undetachable carrying handle on the m4 or m16 makes them look like airsoft or some toy), i believe if this movie were to be a bit more realistic such as the squad actually dying from the rpg's or explosions, the thing that disappointed me the most is the acting.... it kills the movie, but the characters are decent and fit the film,another thing is the rambling on the positions and it annoys me, if only this film were to be more planned out and the plot were better this film would be LEGIT!!!!
Compared to other movies discussing the Iraqi puzzle, this one employs a much more naked way of expression, and presents the paradox of the war's justice right in front of the audience. The plot may be too compact with lots of artificial coincidence happening in a single day. People should consider this as an epitome of the whole war. The dialogue is no longer equivocal. The sergeant mentioned the analogy of American soldiers in Iraq to Iraqi soldiers in Miami at the very beginning of the movie, 'No one like to be invaded'. The following conflicts in the hospital as well as with the domestic policemen illustrate the feeling of normal Iraqi people. Of course, most of the soldiers do not understand. The beliefs like 'Miami is different' or 'We build school and hospital here' are not wrong under the premise that American is the world police. It would be nice to have someone keep the order, however, a war started from the top instead of spontaneously from the people can not really succeed. This movie vividly conveys this idea. Although a little unacceptable for American citizen, it is really edifying for a world citizen from the perspect of globalization.
I know its been said before but this has to be the worst war movie of all time.. i mean you got a sergeant who looks like a heterosexual and has make up on the whole movie.. not to mention his 5 min pep talks he gives every 5 MINUTES. but i was just thinking as i was watching the history channel.. the remakes they do of battles on the history channel is far more interesting and better to watch then this movie.. thats j ust how bad it is... Id rather sit and watch the history channel andlearn something while watching some decent quality stuff.. then towaste my time watching this p.o.s. movieOver all the movie is just a big bucket of FAIL
After spotting this in the Video Store, I thought I'd check this flick out. After 20 minutes, I had realised I had made a major mistake. This movie is extremely pathetic. I don't know what the makers were thinking, but it looked like a amateur home video with actors just plucked off the street. The acting was poor and the plot is just horrible. It seemed like that ideas were just made up as the movie went along. The director seemed like he had no clue on making this movie.After half an hour of wasted time, I had to stop the movie. This atrocity was just too much for me.Don't even look at the cover of the movie, don't even consider hiring it, just keep looking elsewhere for better entertainment.1/10.
