Goofs

At the beginning of the film, when Harp is being questioned by Captains, he is asked where he completed training. He replies that he trained at Parris Island, but being he is in the Air Force he wouldn't have trained there as this is where U.S. Marines Basic Training takes place. Air Force basic training takes place at the Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio.

User Reviews

Cool movie... Meh story

It is a cool movie, and even the concept is cool... But you never get to feel for the characters, so you are not really invested in the story, on top of that there is a general lack of motivation through out the movie.
