Given the subject material, not bad

Rating: 6/10 (7 March 2010)

Well intentioned, and pretty well acted film, probably hits its mark. A documentary would have had more effect. The realism is not bad, although, the trained military eye will notice many inaccuracies and inadequacies. Don't look for epic battle scenes. There aren't any.
This is not a war movie. It's about hazardous duty in dangerous situations, sometimes real, sometimes perceived. I'll have to admit, I dozed off a few times, and didn't really seem to miss a lot. On a positive note, the characters were not overplayed. Conversely, the film inspired no emotion at all. Bottom line, not enough material here to make a movie out of.
