Terrible Movie

Rating: 3/10 (11 November 2005)

This is a really, really awful movie. It is a formula Hollywood antiwar film masquerading as a true-life glimpse into the Marines and the Gulf War. While the movie has a couple of humorous spots, it is mostly an effort to unfairly portray the Marines and the Gulf War as senseless, ignorant and vile. I haven' read the book on which the film is based, but if the movie it in the least bit reflective of the book, shame on the ex-Marine who wrote it. Don't waste your time or money on this movie. Beter yet, don't waste your time or money on any movies by this group of producers, directors and actors. We should instead honor the men and women who serve honorably, selflessly and courageously so that others can make such stupid and ignorant films.
