Another propaganda movie in case we forgotten how great the Americans are!

Rating: 3/10 (16 May 2010)

It seems these days any movie baring the name and fame of "Americans at war" is bound for gut wrenching success and by gut wrenching I mean aorta exploding instant death success (oh, that's the BIG artery in your body) and the same goes for this pathetic excuse of a movie.
Basically this is a "movie" with no plot or feeling, lifeless poor acting and the odd racial slur thrown in here and there (hajji – not a nice word B.T.W.) and it seems to have made most you yogurt brained Americans happy. I say Americans specifically as this is clearly another movie designed to remind the thick masses of how fantastic, awesome, courageous images of Jesus all American soldiers are – in case we forgot the revision course last week. Actually let's not be too hasty, the British do pop their beany little mongoose heads up through the sand too (mind the pun) but only for about 5 minutes, yet again only to remind us that when compared to the Americans the British are like handbag chiwawas barking at the ankles of the colossal mighty Thor!
A few other nits to pick; why does every civilian come across as a "terrorist" INCLUDING the children? Why is the beginning the same as the end? Is Kathryn B/Mark B trying to be arty? And most importantly, why does that bomb suit look so stupid!?
The reason I am giving this a 3 is perhaps because at least there has been some, although feeble attempt at looking at war from another angle, assuming we need another flaming angle! The poor bomb squad guys probably felt totally left out of the Hollywood-war-movie tea party before this movie (I'm sure some colonel must have had a word with other mums). Plus the little Iraqi kid was "proper jokes!"
Overall, if you need to remind yourself how "distinguished" the Americans are at the art of war or have just forgotten what good they have done in Iraq I suggest you continue picking your nose and eating the bogey you produce. The sad, as in pathetic (at the risk of using an adjective twice) revelations the characters have just made me want to laugh, wait better yet I did laugh, so hard in fact I got out one sarcastic HA and stopped...
It seems I've done my conclusion paragraph... don't watch this movie!
