A fresh look at things! something new for the War film genre! i really enjoyed!
27 January 2007
I would happily recommend this movie, but something i would say is, if your looking for a war movie with all out action like saving private Ryan or something you are looking at the wrong type of film, this is in fact a completely fresh look at things. The heartache and pain of going to war, risking your life, and you weren't even needed anyway. They go through the heartache of training, risking their lives, and don't get to play the part, they had always trained for, dreamt of, and wanted to. This film also provides a look at what keeps the soldiers motivated and what could happen if their motivation is taken from them, it leaves them lonely and out of their mind, when they need to try and defend their country. It also shows the bounds between soldiers, and some of the after affects, and provides you with new thoughts, opinions, and answers. And also you might learn new things about what goes on, that you didn't know.

With a fresh all out talented cast, that we all need to see more of, you can see a lot of fresh faces for a lot of future movie roles, with actors to take over for the new generation of movie making! This film took a whole new look at things with a 21st century edge of movie-making, direction, and filming with an excellent soundtrack.
