Not Realistic...

Rating: 6/10 (29 April 2010)

OK, seems like most of you disliked this movie. Nothing wrong with that. I thought it was mildly entertaining and I have to say I was pleased that it was different from all of the other war movies out there. However, I don't understand the complaining about the movie's lack of realism. Do you really watch Hollywood movies, expecting them to be realistic?
Think of your favorite cop-movie...The Departed..Training Day, etc. I have been a cop for ten years. I assure you, there has never any cop movie that has been even remotely realistic. There never will be, because in real life, most of it is pretty boring. I imagine life for soldiers in the war is similar. A totally realistic movie would probably fail at the box office.
Shaky cameras...didn't bother me, but I can understand those of you who found it made you nauseous. Poor character development...meh, I disagree, but that argument makes sense. Lack of realism...go watch a documentary, not a fiction film.
