its about soldiers training for desert storm (1990, so not today's war in Iraq).

Rating: 8/10 (6 November 2005)

I really enjoyed it, thought it was great.. its done by the guy who did American Beauty, so it was well done. I enjoyed the plot, the characters, and the story and meaning behind the movie. I thought it was awesome, though I am a history major in college and enjoy films like this. I think that even if you don't like war movies you'd still like this movie. The actors did well, Jamie Foxx was great. You really got attached to the characters. It is more of a character movie then a war movie. So there are not tons of war combat going on. It mostly focused a lot on the life of the marines and what it was like for them. Overall I just thought it was just a great movie.
