n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

... View MoreAfter watching some really bad war films, you know, the ones with Eric Roberts in them, I was relieved to watch this film and perhaps over rated it by comparison.The film opens up questioning our cause in Afghanistan, a person who wants to do something to change the world, and ends with a positive answer. After a Marine Sargent gets his leg shot off, Corporal Merrimette (Josh Kelly) is given a field promotion and has to take much needed supplies to a unit and cross through Taliban territory. He reluctantly accepts the position having a pregnant wife at home and no desire to re-enlist. In fact his commander (Stephen Lang) asked him if he had submitted his letter of resignation yet, which caught me off guard, because having been in the service, enlisted people did not submit letters of resignation, only officers.They take a truck convey, because an air drop would have made the film too short and besides there is a dust storm that we never see. Along the way, they run into difficulty causing Merimette to make those "world changing" decisions.The characters are introduced by name, rank, and place of origin. Character build up happens with the fun military banter, which normally concerns sex and me having to Google "Queen Christina." Seriously? The acting was fair, the plot needed tightening up. For instance, one time when they were on foot they killed some Taliban with vehicles, but opted to proceed on foot. Not the decision I would have made, but then again I was never a Hollywood Marine.Parental Guide: F-bomb. No sex. Early gratuitous male nudity.
... View MoreWhen i was in the gulf war, we just had a M16 rifle, chewing gum and a very small toilet roll that incidentally had to last for our whole tour of duty. In this film there are lazer guns, romulan mind-melds an Alien from the planet xena-4 plus every soldier seems to quote " Beam me up scotty" before they get shot. If you want a good action movie go for Wind In The Willows part 2, or you could just watch a few episodes of star trek which may have the same effect on you. Basically don't watch this film. its no good, its akin to jumping around naked with a pineapple superglued to one of your feet. i watched it twice and dozed off several times and that was just during the opening credits. which took almost twenty minutes to get through as for the sound effects they were boring. hang on am i reviewing the right film? this is citizen kane is it not?.
... View MoreMentally fatigued and doubtful about signing on for another tour, Corporal Chris Merrimette(Josh Kelly), is put in command of unit that is ordered to work in support mode resupplying an outpost on the border of Taliban-controlled territory. Quite unexpectedly the unit is thrown into a combat situation of international importance. Merrimette's unit is to help rescue an Afghan woman with a target on her back for defying the Taliban. There is very little time to waste and high danger to dodge in getting this woman to safety.Don Michael Paul directs this slightly better than average action movie filmed in Bulgaria. The mannerisms and language for some reason just don't seem too military-like. This project may have been better suited as a made-for-TV movie. Featured in the cast: Cole Hauser, Jesse Garcia, Cassie Layton, Ronny Jhutti, Stephen Lang, Daniel Coetzer and Esai Morales.
