I guess I should have been tipped off that this film was not screened for critics, very wise. None the less, I wanted to see a movie so I gave it a shot. What I got was a very uninspired and ludicrous film that was just flat out boring. There was literally not one scene in this movie that made you jump or feel scared. The characters lacked any development and the script was just, well, uninspired. This looks like one of those studio leftovers that they decided to dump on the public with the tease that M. Night Shamylan had something to do with it. I would suggest "The Last Exorcist" if you were interested in a horror film with some imagination and some real scares.

The problem I had with this "movie," is that it was not much of a movie at all. It seemed like two guys decided they were going to embed and then make a movie about their experiences, whether there were any experiences to really show. We see a lot of forced shots where the soldiers really have nothing to say. It is as if they feel compelled to give the directors something, so they just start performing. I am very interested in this conflict and the men that fight it, but this documentary was inferior to stuff I have already seen on National Geographic and other news stations. In the end, it is rather dull. We are instead party to a number of young men trying to come up with something entertaining for the directors, as if their mission was secondary.

I was shocked that a movie with such a strong cast could be so incredibly awful. Everyone in this film was handcuffed by one of the worst scripts and most unimaginative directing one could imagine. It was as if Hoffman was just going through the motions here, along with everybody else. The scenes of people delighting to the pirate radio in private were laughably unrealistic. The supposed rebel DJs that worked on the boat did not posses an ounce of talent or entertainment ability, which begs the question, why would people have listened at all to this station? I'm sorry, perhaps if I never went out to watch movies or had a 4th grade intellect and maturity I would have found this horrible film entertaining, but neither of those is true and this film stunk!
