OK Honestly I thought this movie was going to be about the Marine Unit that actually got attacked by Iraqi Forces during operation desert shield, not some light mortar fire. But it wasn't and I scratched my head and said how can you make a movie about Desert Storm with out using units that saw combat. I didn't get it. The start was cool all the way up to the "fighting" part. Three Kings was a good desert storm story with action and coolness, this movie was well, dull, I liked some it. To movie makers out there please read the script first and figure out what the movie can and cant do. I know it was based on a true story, but you don't make true stories that BLOW into movies that promise a lot on the previews. You want to see some "true" combat stories why don't you make some of the War now, my god there's more Rambo stuff going on in Afganistan and Iraq right now. I like the Directional flow of the film it touches on the softness of the Marines and what happens to Soldiers when they go over seas. I love the way the movie set up and it would have been soooo much better with a different story. My god it would have been Oscar material easily if it was a cool story but like i said before it blows.6/10
