I was so excited to see this movie. But once again, it's another case of a movie not doing justice to the book from which it is based upon. Peter Sarsgaard was fabulous, however. |

A sobering look at a war where there is no actual war. Hardly a bullet is fired, but it's amazing to see what really goes on - and it isn't pretty. It's a realistic look at war and it doesn't try to hype anything. |

A very strong 3 star movie, especially one about Desert Storm. It shows some good war type scenes, very good acting, and a good bond is developed by the friends they made. There was nothing it lacked, just showed how boring war can be. |

The loneliness of war |
|
Matter-of-fact account of a young soldier in the marine corps who discovers the agonizing loneliness, isolation and boredom of war when serving in Desert Storm. The characters are well-drawn and a brisk pace provides some riveting moments, but its aftermath leaves too much unexplained. Final Grade: B |

Not to shabby of a war flick |
|
Not my most favorite war movie, but very interesting point of view from the marines. I only gave this 2.5 stars because I'm not sure how realistic it was. I'm sure a lot of the stuff they showed happens, but it could have been hyped up for the hollywood crowd. |
