Intentionally flawed

Rating: 8/10 (17 November 2008)

Awesome movie, let me just state that first.
The first half and second half are completely different, as everyone else said. The first half runs a lot more like a normal movie does, showing a bit of character development (although in the case of private pyle, for the worse).
Anyway, the real statement that the film wants to make is in the second half. It's not a new message, in fact it's quite overdone, but I think FMJ does it the best of any film I've seen so far. The ending intentionally is totally anticlimactic, which I love. It makes it feel a lot more real when you think about it - there was no victory for either side for t his war.
