Title: Pogue fodder
Review: Under the suggestion of a filmmaker friend of mine, I thought I'd give this film a tumble.What I found was a film depicting soldiers acting and talking unprofessionally, and discussing political screeds that front line soldiers never talk about, especially when under fire.In fact the characters talk too much. They talk, talk, talk, talk, talk about crap no soldier in his right mind would ever talk about.The acting was atrocious.A combat medic complaining about being a medic? I was a combat medic, and that just never happens.It had occasional good action scenes, but over all it was really a horrible film.Guys like Furie should leave the writing and making of modern war films to guys who have either actually served in that conflict or at least done some serious "real" research about soldiers and modern warfare and the conflict they are writing about.Man, I miss guys like John Ford.
Is the review positive or negative?
