Where was the plot?

Rating: 1/10 (4 June 2006)

First off let me start off by saying I loved Sam Mende's two previous works (Road to Perdition & American Beauty), but this movie flat out sucked. I had such high expectations for this movie, and what was funny was as I picked up the movie some guy next to me said get ready to be disappointed. I didn't think anything of it because I like to see for myself before I listen to someone else's opinion. Well boy was he right, I thought this was supposed to be about the Gulf War, instead we hear more about how the main character (Jake Gyllenhaal) likes to masturbate. Also I hated how they made the soldier's out to be like nothing but a bunch of horny perverts and complete dumb asses, which is far from the truth.
All I can say is if you want to see an entertaining movie along with a plot you need to look the other way. There have been very few times I have had to turn off a movie while in the middle of it. Sad to say but this movie was bad in all aspects. Bad performances by Jake Gyllenhaal and Jamie Foxx along with the rest of the cast. I don't call using the f-word every other word acting, anyone can do that. There was no plot to this movie either, this movie would of been better off being called Soldiers Gone Wild because it was more about sex than the actual Gulf War.
