How come the black guy didn't die?, 25 August 2001
Author: Tax Lady from IRS office

Y'all know how movies have the black guy dying. He didn't in this movie. I dunno why. What a bad choice. then the crossbow? what is up w/ dat. i can't believe i had my commerical play on the time slot for this movie. they shoulda cast me in it. with my captain suit outfit i would be sure to rake in the money at the box office. but noooo...they had to cast that guy to play the military guy. but i loved the script. did they come from the ESL international school too?

I love the tank. and that final scene how the white dude didn't even injure himself? nice..............

i LOVE this movie and would recommend it to all my friends. If i could vote for higher than 10/10 than i would. This movie shoulda won an oscar.I cant wait for the sequel to come out. Maybe the producer will call my agent and we can set something up . i can be the captain in my uniform.

maybe we can kick some IRS butt
