james acevedo this is not the worst film i have seen, people might think my review is crazy, but this movie has accurate props, some good sets, crisp imaging, really good special effects (its not cheesy at all it look really good) i mean hey, this movie could have been one of those really crappy camera looking type of deals, with bad props (shotguns with clips on them, or undetachable carrying handle on the m4 or m16 makes them look like airsoft or some toy), i believe if this movie were to be a bit more realistic such as the squad actually dying from the rpg's or explosions, the thing that disappointed me the most is the acting.... it kills the movie, but the characters are decent and fit the film,another thing is the rambling on the positions and it annoys me, if only this film were to be more planned out and the plot were better this film would be LEGIT!!!!

gh frost I want my $1.83 rental fee back. However ....I write novels, I've worked on productions. Anyone involved in writing or production can learn from this disaster.First, the palm trees. Not only are the palms fake, but the crew uses the same fake palms in scene after scene.Second, the locations. Travel the Middle East, study the cinder block construction, the roads, the curbs, the streetlights, the power poles. Take thousands of photos. A better idea would be to stage the action in the night. In this way, a production crew could create a more realistic background for the action.Third, interview veterans of Iraq. How often did they actually see an enemy? In this production, insurgents attack en masse every other minute.All the field details: the soldiers standing in groups to deliver dramatic dialog, walking and talking in the middle of the road, taking cover behind bushes? behind the glass and sheet metal of a car? A 7.62mmComBloc slug will punch through all the steel of a car and kill you. And the truck taking repeated hits from RPG's? The RPG's exploding in a ball of rising fire? Do the Iraqis load their RPG's with gasoline? And taking a wounded American to an Iraqi hospital? Who thought of that stupidity? Medevac in Iraq is 15 minutes from wound to surgery. Iraqis don't even have disposable needles. They don't have sutures. They don't have antibiotics.And a knife-fight to the death with an assault force of Iraqis? They hear the Americans firing pistols, then go silent? 'Oh, they're out of ammunition, let's let them knife us.' And after the climatic knife-fight, the soldiers take to the road with empty weapons? Who financed this trash? Send me money. I'll buy the stories of veterans, put together a righteous action-adventure drama.ghfrost google that name

imdb-18334 Better movie than the military haters would have one believe. Although many of the fight scenes do remind me of the "A-Team" series (with Mr.T) where 100s of shots are fired without one hit.The acting is adequate.If one is a Democrate one will love this movie. Many Michel Moore moments with including the death of American soldiers and torture scenes. Not the best war movie I have ever seen, but better than many and much better than The Thin Red Line.Watch the move for yourself with an open mind.

hosis1 Not the worst movie I have ever seen , writing needed work, acting overdone , but the message was clear and this message should be heard. I work in this industry and I am also he mother of a marine combat veteran. And If the American public would shake off the ambivalence that they drug them selves with they would understand what it is that we are sacrificing for Political and Economic gain for the few and privileged . And they themselves would be up in arms to stop this and maybe really focus on the problem of terrorism. We must know our enemy and understand them in order to destroy them. We should be holding Afghanistan and keeping the Taliban and the Al Queda at bay. Not creating another hold out for them by destabilizing another Arab country.
