Pretty good, but very violent...

Rating: 8/10 (27 August 2016)

I liked it. Some of the other reviewers seemed to think it was very unrealistic. Perhaps the story line is, but I think the "hell" that is war was on point. LOTS of swearing and blown off legs, heads, etc., but this is what war is probably like. Even the obnoxious character, played by Jon Bernthal was heroic in the end. Nice to see Shia LaBeouf appear somewhat likable. Most met honorable ends. I guess it was kind of corny to see Logan Lerman's character "become a man" in more ways than one. Yes there are several clichés, but I could overlook it. I put on my Amazon wish list, but I'm not sure how often I would watch it again. It's rather intense at times.
