OK... I have expected more from Sam Mendes

Rating: 5/10 (9 January 2006)

The film itself was quite OK... but nothing special. Maybe I had wrong expectations to that film. If you expect some kind of Rambo-film, you will not enjoy that one. It's far more serious and I'm sure that the soldiers in the Iraq-US-war experienced the hole war like it's shown in this film. But why do have the spectators feel bored, just because the soldiers felt the same while that war?? It begins almost like a comedy version of "Full Metal Jacket", then the film becomes more and more seriously. Not that I don't like that kind of film, but it's not that kind of film I will talk about for days. Not very thrilling, not extremely funny, everything is just so-so.
