What a pathetic joke.

Rating: 2/10 (23 June 2006)

As an active-duty Marine, from the moment I saw "colors" going at about 1630, with "Taps" being played (that goes at 2200), to the Company Commander screaming in a Gunny's ear (a CMoH winner), I knew this movie was gonna suck. Stitch Jones would never have made it out of Parris Island alive much less make it through a Recon indoc. Indeed, that Brig Rat would never ever have come back to his former Recon platoon after being busted down. Without Eastwood's acting, this movie would have been worse than anything Woody Allen ever made. Also, the portrayal of a Recon marine in the guise of Peeble's pathetic character was an insult. A careful check of the credits reveals that there was no military technical adviser and that is one of the biggest problems with this movie. A Hollywood writer is about as knowledgeable about the Marine Corps as I am of Nuclear Physics.
