Not much of an effect

Rating: 2/10 (1 June 2006)

At first I was worried that this movie would be your typical American Propaganda style movie. The kind were you see the flag in the air at the end, and the feeling of "Americans are the best" and all that jazz.
I was pleasantly surprised to find out this was a more psychological look at the war via the eyes of the foot soldier. Part of the time you are fed some elements that help you to see, and understand. But the amount of info is very lacking, and empty.
Sadly the movie leaves you in the place it takes place in....deserted in the desert. It fails at expressing itself. Jamie Foxx' performance was the only thing keeping the movie going. I only wish there was more of him in it. Perhaps if the movie took the view of his character instead it would of made a bigger impact.
