ace film, now one of my favs

Rating: 9/10 (26 January 2011)

OK im not a professional writer or critic but this film had me gripped from the beginning, one thing i would like to clear up, generally im not a fan of military films, no real reason, just not for me.
however one evening spotted this gem on my DVD shelf and thought what the hell il give it a watch, and boy was i shocked, this is genuinely one of my all time favs now, the acting is sublime, shooting is superb, cannot fault it in this area.
This film gives you a insight to a marine mentality, i.e. its not all gun ho fighting and shooting, its gives you a better feel of the emotion and mentality of the solider, these guys were trained to fight, so going to war is a natural thing, like a footballer playing football.
the film shows you the camaraderie a soldier has with he fellow fighters, the arguments etc Also im am not a fan of Jake glyndehalls other work, but he greatly impressed me in this film, he can defiantly put himself among the big league actors in my books now, and Jamie Foxx also shows his impressive acting credentials.
all in all i recommend anyone watching this, definitely my surprise film, just wish i watched it earlier.
