A War Theme Park

Rating: Null/10 (30 August 2004)

SPOILERS
Colin Farrell is awesome in this film, there are no other words, and in my opinion he pulls off one of the best soldier performances of any war film. And that's all I have to say about that!
As for the film itself, the conflicts between the troops are played out very well, with the tension of "Tigerland" quite often (or very often) leading to fist fights (the effect of which is helped by the involving, documentary-style camerawork), with some men desperate to find a way, any way, to get themselves off the programme.
Although the film threatens to go haywire close to the end with Wilson's lone loony crusade, it is saved by some astute direction from a certain Joel Schumacher (this being, along with 'Falling Down', his best film to date) and a superb closing voice-over leaving the ending very much open. A very, very well-made film. 8/10
