Tough Movie

Rating: 8/10 (30 June 2006)

This movie is about the Persian Gulf War, but does not actually focus on the battle itself. Rather, it focuses on the effects of war on different people.
As based on a true story, Anthony Swafford joins the Marine Corps, but does not get he expects. Rather than battle, he is faced with the endless waiting in the desert, and the pressures of being in his division. His girlfriend cheats on him while he is gone, and when he finally comes back home, he is a changed person.
I found this movie very good in its expression of the fears and frustrations of war. There is a lot of swearing in this movie, but if you don't mind that, I would recommend this movie to you.
