Title: Good flick, although not true to book
Product review: This is a pretty good movie, it's exciting, easy on the eyes and has a decent plot. It's based loosely on the book although the movie can't really decide whether it wants to be inspiring like the book or a satire on war. Some reviewers have suggested that the book is like this which I completely disagree with. In my opinion this movie turned out a lot like director Verhoeven's Total Recall -- it started out as a serious, intellectual movie but as work on the movie progressed, the special effects took over and the acting [was bad], so they made it seem like they meant to do that. And like Total Recall, they pulled it off. Overall it's a decent flick but completely different in tone and purpose than the book.
