American disaster turns to American victory

Rating: 1/10 (25 March 2002)

Although I can understand everyone liking this film, it still has been turned into something it isnt. It has been "americanised". I found this hard to believe as the director was British. But, as with so many of American films based on themselves in war, it has been turned into a victory film, promoting there "always win" attitude. (eg. Saving Private Ryan, U571). Somalia, Vietnam and all of disputes involving American since WW2 have been failures, but when those few soles running into the Pakistani stadium at the end being clapped, i thought to myself, "America wins again".
