One of my favorite sayings is 'you can't drive faster than the car in front of you' and it best describes this movie the script is the car in front. Every time the actors try to expand their characters the script shoots the crap out of them the plot looks like some one shot at it with an UZI and the characterization is all over the place also the rating it got was ridicules M15+. Now I have seen more violent movies with an M15+ rating Predator for one but all this movie had was the death of one of its characters and the death of a few dragons nothing more there wasn't any fowl language so why did it get such a high rating maybe the film classifiers wanted the movie to fail by dragging the younger audience away. Now the movie isn't a total loss when I first sore it I hated it after the first 5 minutes the second time I watched it it was more bearable and by the third time I could see the actors trying to work with the bad script and now I think of it as a good but bad movie the bad part being the script the good being that its bearable and a good enough watch on a slow day.

Even though this movie came out some 15 years before I was born I must admit that it's quite good even though its length and some boring bits is its killer. The story is sadistic and cruel and really rips your guts out when they depict the reality of war but not just any war but the Koran War a war which has been labeled the forgotten war and it good to see a movie that's about what happens to the shoulders that fort not shooting but saving the people who were doing the killing for there country. A very good movie that makes you think even if it's a little boring in some areas and a touch on the long side especially the directors cut a must see for any one who liked the TV show or likes some thing different to your average war movie.
