Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
thekingsdom This was a surprisingly good film. Seen through the eyes of a private who initially wanted out of the army, this film shows the Iraq conflict from all angles. It's a slow burner with numerous scenes of high tension, combat action, understanding and sadness. Filmed well, acted well, written well, and cast well this is an intelligent war film. A definite 7/10 for me.
bettycjung 3/18/18. A decent Iraqi war movie that shows what American soldiers have to do - anything they are asked to do, and always in harm's way. It will make you appreciate our military's commitment to do what they have to do and could die at a moment's notice. Worth catching.
kckek In a strong field of bad movies, this has to be the worst. Wrong vehicles, wrong tanks, wrong radios, bad example of tactics, banter, etc. Everything about this is garbage. There are hundreds of thousands of veterans who could have corrected any of these errors, if the producers cared to even ask. I usually overlook small things, but everything about this is wrong. I turned it off after 20 minutes, when it got too insulting to watch, but that's still 20 minutes I'll never get back.
smazmac Great war film to watch. It doesn't just flood the film with meaningless action but shows a complex story about the difficult relations between the U.S. soldiers and the Iraqi community. You can really relate to the main character Pvt. Ocre (Nicholas Hoult) as he experiences the challenges and brutality of war. Some parts of the plot were a bit simple, but overall I would recommend it. Some parts can be a bit brutal though, so be prepared for that.
