Out-of-touch, intentional mis-characterization, and full-blown disregard for U.S. military

Rating: 2/10 (21 May 2010)

This cruel portrayal of our military wreaks of unjustified insult and utter disrespect. The blatant characterization of American soldiers as barbaric, borderline psychotic, and insensitive ruthless killers who betray their families for the alleged addiction to the thrill of the kill ranks as the worst offense Hollywood has lobbed against our military yet.
Hopefully most viewers see through the pseudo realism of this film and recognize that American soldiers do not fit the mold put forth by the film's creators and writers. Sadly, this movie is showing internationally and places the American military into an unwarranted stereotype that is damaging to their credibility.
Shame on the director and writer, as well as the acting team, for using the entertainment medium of film to promote an obvious anti-U.S. military sentiment.
Was the acting good? Sure. Were the scenes and action well shot? Yes. For each of these, I granted a star. But nothing more in the movie deserves a star.
