Terrible movie

Rating: 1/10 (10 November 2005)

This movie is full of foul swearing with some gratuitous sex thrown in for good measure, and it's populated by characters with absolutely no depth. I was almost hoping some of them would be among the few who were killed during Desert Storm.
I hope that people who have not been in the military don't conclude that this is a realistic portrayal of Marine Corps in combat. The behavior of the officers and senior enlisted men was totally uncharacteristic, and the lack of discipline displayed by the enlisted troops was outrageous.
I wasn't at all clear to me what this movie was supposed to be about. If there was a message there that war is bad (or good), it went cleanly over my head.
