The friends date two girls, but both love Barbara, who chooses to marry Larry, as ideal father for her pre-teen son. After graduation from Basic UDT/SEAL training, they choose opposite oceans for further training. However Sadam Husein's invasion of Kuwait gets both mobilized in the same unit, with Bosco, who gets captured and tortured. Dean learns Barbara has left adulterer Larry. They mount a rescue together, taking risks even on their own side.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
