update dirty dozen and then some

Rating: 8/10 (10 September 2009)

Well well, this is Tarantinos war movie and so it is, both in good and in bad. Granted, I like his movies. They are movies. So is this. There is no pretending that this is the real thing, no effing way, this is just a war movie. And funny too. The reason it is funny at times is because it is not about the real thing. This is a war story we made up when we were ten yrs old and ran trough the woods with plastic machine guns and sticks which we called rifles. We actually played WW2, with a concentration camp, dug outs and trenches, and lo behold, for a moment we were in this kind of war. Brutal, hilarious and raw, full of uncensored wildness in small boys. Entertaining to see ones own childhood fantasies played out by big guys.
