I think you guys are missing the boat with these military movies. Thet aren't training films, you know. I liked it because I like John Revolting and Samuel Jackson. It had good music, a twisty plot and a surprise ending. Who cares whether it was realistic to the military and the way things are actually done? A movie called Hot Horny Housewives would not be very realistic but I'm betting a lot of uh, persons would find it fun to watch. Depending on who was in it, of course.
I like watching Army movies with my sister because she doesn't say "that's fake." "that couldn't happen." "That uniform is worng." "That's not right." She's a pill to watch housework/carpool/mommy movies with though. She says women don't do housework in dresses and high heels, put make-up on to take the kids to school or stay calm at all times regardless of what the kids are doing. Since I don't do housework and have sold my child to the gypsies I wouldn't know! ROFLMAO!!!

i really liked the movie, i thought it was entertaining and had several surpriese twists (well mabey just one casue i was up right with them untill the last twist). I personly would much rather have a good story line and good acting than really good speacial effects and a crappy plot.

you guys should all watch navy SEALs 2 then....its a bad military movie AND a bad normal sit-and-watch-on-friday-nights-movie...so bad it had me rolling....(for one thing it had the swish swish noise that they use on swords...but they used it every time someone moved their head)

yes.. I think the movie had a fun plot and all... but the obviously blatant disregard for anytype of military fact is what rubbed me the wrong way. The stuff that was wrong could have easily been fixed without money or changing the plot of the movie. I mean they dont need to make a "training movie".. but damn
