Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant
There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Let me begin by saying, as a European I didn't really feel like this movie was aimed at me even though 9/11 (11/9) effected us all. I was only 11 years old at that time but I still remember seeing those towers fall in horror on the news even though I was living half way around the world.That being said, I don't really understand why there are so many harsh reviews of this movie out there. I kind of feel like ther are too man PC euro trash like myself downvoting this just because this is clearly aimed at the US market. Sure this movie is a bit of a "hurrah USA" movie, but so what? I found the movie quite entertaining and definitely worth watching, however If you're expecting something like Saving Private Ryan or Black Hawk Down you have too high expectations. I kind of like to think of this as a 80's action movie but for the 21st century.
Solid performance all round but the set pieces never pack the punch needed to get this one off the ground.If you want to see how to shoot war time action on horseback check out The Lighthorsemen.
Yet another boring movie with no sense of danger. you will love this one if you love Mission Impossible. The 'heroes' fly through mortar and shelling and tank fire and are A-OK. A hard charging jarhead gallops through 500 enemy combatants shooting at him and he is A-OK.Sure.
Upsetting because the book was phenomenal. The portrayal of the characters was horrible, events skewed. There was supposed to be the most important part of the entire story that was left out! No reference to the other team, they covered the first 23 days but they were there longer. The way they made Dostrum and Capt. Mitchell start off in the beginning sucked, there was barely a mention of Mike Spann!! Gimme a break!
