I have to say that I am not - repeat not - a Dolph Lundgren fan - not at all. In fact, I would usually say that his mere presence in any movie reduces it to a 5 of 10 - at best. However, in this case, he was pretty good. Maybe after some 30+ years he finally has gotten some acting chops.The movie overall was pretty well done and felt reasonably authentic. I'm glad I watched it, and it was entertaining and sometimes felt immersive.About the only thing that rubbed me the wrong way was the pretty constant back-talking from the sergeant in the early parts (in front of the squad no less!). To me, it felt unrealistic that his commanding officers would let that stuff slide over and over - figuring that they would earn his trust over time. I guess they were trying to emphasize the struggle to turn this ragtag bunch into a cohesive unit.

Where do I begin? The unrealistic training? The Dolph Lungdren doing his "French" impression? This movie should of never been made. I am so surprised how much money is wasted in movies like this. You know the plot in the first 2 minutes ("Windtalkers" for example) where a ranking officer gets his men killed, along with his best friend. Then he gets demoted, then has to command a ragtag group, I mean come on. The acting is terrible, the impressions are laughable, the script is dreadful and another thing, they smoke a crazy amount. 4-5 smokes every minute, when they are running, talking, training, dying. This movie just shows what people will do for money. I don't what else to say, the movie in all is just boring, repetitive, dull and uninteresting. You will walk away from this movie either aggravated or so stoned you forgot what happened.

This movie was not that great at all. It seemed like it was going to be a great one because of the cast and the preview, but it instead turned out to be a slow paced boring war movie.It was pointless to have big movie star names in this movie such as Dolph Lundgren and Mickey Rourke. With both of their talents, it should have set a higher bar for this movies story line and outcome. Their presence was weighed down by some of the smaller named actors in the movie.For those who are expecting an action packed war movie, then this is not one that will fulfill those entertainment needs.

Dolph and his crew of misfits are actually a good fit ... for war. It's one of those B-movies that have a war theme. It's not really a movie that has many mysteries about it. Dolph has to coach a crew of people who no one else wants and from that starting point you pretty much know where this is going.There is conflict within and everything else you could expect from a movie like this. It's decent overall if you like that kind of stuff. It's not Anti-War, it's more heroic than that. And the end suggests a couple of things, that you'll either like or hate. But your decision/mind will have been made up long before that
