ccnorman Why do film makers continue to portray the military so poorly. Regardless of their intent, they could at least make an attempt to be accurate with regard to uniforms, military procedure and terminology, and weapons.This movie was so silly I had to watch the whole thing just to see how really poor it could be. The people making this movie certainly had delusions of adequacy.
Mitch-38 Grade C knock off of Grade B action junk (think Van Damme and Olivier Gruner) about US military corruption on US/Mexico border. From the onset, you know not to expect SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, but to be honest, I expected something more serious than GOMER PYLE.If you see life through stereotypes, enjoy predictable plots and are easily entertained, this is for you. For those that were in the US Army, you can entertain yourself through the tedium by playing "spot the mistakes." Not awful, just not well made. Think twice about putting money out for a rental.
PeoplesBadmash A futile attempt at making a movie. In other words, the perfect manifestation of how a movie must never EVER be made. EVER.I've never been a pure action-movie man or a Dacascos fan.. infact, after watching this laborious waste of time & money, I doubt I ever will too!Take a hint. Let this one go by silently.Oomph!-meter (from 5): [what?! are you kidding?!]
gv_creed The movie shows how an army base can be turned out to be not such a respectable place to be for soldiers. A senior army officer who leads a group of young men into drug trafficking. The plot is okay. Clear & logical. Fighting scenes causes blood to spill. Explosive action. The crew did well to impress me. A great job done.
