  • I couldn't disagree with you more. The film is about an guy struggling with an addiction, not about the war. You make it sound like an action film.

    I must have missed his personal struggle amid all the action scenes. The guy struggling with his addiction is a selfish prick, and the end of the film cheapened whatever intimate psychological portrait they were trying to build up: bomb suit on, walking in slo-mo like a hero, loud rock music, death or glory shit. I know most people seem to think its a wonderful anti-war film, honest depiction of the war, blah blah, who knows, maybe it is honest, but I have to agree with Robert Scheer's assessment: it's "an enlightened Rambo story: War is hellish but entertaining". Review over, its just my opinion, nothing more!
