Exessive profanity and nudity, and lack of character and story development,...

Rating: 1/10 (6 December 2006)

Must say... I was very excited about this movie before I got it, and unfortunately was severely disappointed. The movie had almost no character development (with the exception of Bozz) and next to no story line. The entire movie consisted of watching characters that you barely know beat the crap out of each other... time.... after time..... after time..... Same with their little "plans" to run away from the Army.... it was like watching a twenty minute movie five times in a row.
Not only that but it had an unduly unnecessary amount of profanity (even for an Army movie) and complete (and I mean complete) nudity which the "R" rating never mention on the case. Yet it was rated "R" for violence which there was hardly any of.
I expected an inspiring war epic of green recruits on their first tour in Vietnam and instead got to watch people beat the crap out of each other literally over an issue the film had hardly mentioned and sergeants cursing out a bunch of recruits with language as bad as it gets.
There were no "fight" scenes (as in with guns) nor did you ever get to see any deployment in Vietnam. In fact the only good thing about this movie is Colin Farrel's acting, which seems a pity to waste on such a movie. I wouldn't recommend seeing this movie at all for any reason, for any type of person.
I hated it. Waste of time/money.
