American Soldiers (2005) Reviews
Not completely awful, but very close
After reading a few reviews, I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt that the hummers and trucks seemed indestructible, unless the plot needed them on foot. Also, any notice that this was sort of like a bad G.I. Joe episode, where no one hits anything with any weapon (RPGs included), but the bad guys retreat after one scrapes a knee? I couldn't give this movie an out-and-out 1 out of 10, because I at least saw that they were trying to give political open-minded discussion about whether being there was right or wrong (the Iraq prisoner's point of view, the fact that some in the squad knew at least why the Iraqis MIGHT be upset at the US for being there, etc.), but personally, these were completely overshadowed by how saintlike each solider was made out to be. Bad soldiers? Yup, because just emptying clips is a better solution then aiming each shot - let your MG be your sniper! Also, never SEEN a worse knife fight in my life. Bad shots? Definitely - unless they are using their side arm or their own RPG. But I could get over all these things, but what I couldn't was the bloody "buck up, little solider" speeches every 20 minutes. I swear, if I heard another "you guys are the best soldiers I've ever been with" or "we're here for each other and nothing else matters" speech again from anyone in the squad, I probably would have thrown something at the TV. Want to see an actual modern war movie? See Black Hawk Down.
By Far the Worst War Movie Ever
After spending 22 years in the Army, after serving in several different regions of the world in many different capacities, this is by FAR the worst and most UNREALISTIC war movie EVER. There is no plot, there is no acting. The dialogue insults the viewer and the actors. The equipment and tactics displayed by the "good guys" and "bad guys" whichever side you're on, aren't even as realistic as in fantasy films, like "Lord of the Rings" or cartoons like "Bambi." I have seen anti-war and pro-war movies and propaganda. I enjoy watching independent films, but this was utter tripe. The only redeeming feature of this wasted effort is that it was actually less than 90 minutes. It was only 87 minutes long, and I don't think I could have lasted the last three.
Very poor acting
I love war movies. I watch them all and have probably covered 80% av all the war movies on IMDb.com no matter how they are rated because some people just have bad taste. I watch black and white war movies and foreign movies you name it. But this movie is horrible. The acting is like watching bay watch but in Iraq. they have all the gear and the environment but they cant perform at all. the plot is thin even for a war movie. You cant connect to anyone in the movie at all. Its also lacking realism they stand 2 meters from each other and fire rpgs and saw machine guns for like 5 minutes but don't hit anything. I think this is the worst war movie i have ever seen.
worst war movie ever made
worst acting I have ever seen. These soldiers are the worst shots in the world. The only thing worse is their acting. These soldiers see more action in one day than most see in a lifetime. Good idea for a movie but the over acting kills me. the only good acting was from the enemy. The props were toys too. Don't waste you time I did for you. Started out OK, but died quickly. Must have been a very small budget. I hope they didn't pay anyone. don't waste your time. So many goofs, I wondered if it was a spoof.
Study the errors of this production; learn from the disaster
I want my $1.83 rental fee back. However .... I write novels, I've worked on productions. Anyone involved in writing or production can learn from this disaster. First, the palm trees. Not only are the palms fake, but the crew uses the same fake palms in scene after scene. Second, the locations. Travel the Middle East, study the cinder block construction, the roads, the curbs, the streetlights, the power poles. Take thousands of photos. A better idea would be to stage the action in the night. In this way, a production crew could create a more realistic background for the action. Third, interview veterans of Iraq. How often did they actually see an enemy? In this production, insurgents attack en masse every other minute. All the field details: the soldiers standing in groups to deliver dramatic dialog, walking and talking in the middle of the road, taking cover behind bushes? behind the glass and sheet metal of a car? A 7.62mmComBloc slug will punch through all the steel of a car and kill you. And the truck taking repeated hits from RPG's? The RPG's exploding in a ball of rising fire? Do the Iraqis load their RPG's with gasoline? And taking a wounded American to an Iraqi hospital? Who thought of that stupidity? Medevac in Iraq is 15 minutes from wound to surgery. Iraqis don't even have disposable needles. They don't have sutures. They don't have antibiotics. And a knife-fight to the death with an assault force of Iraqis? They hear the Americans firing pistols, then go silent? 'Oh, they're out of ammunition, let's let them knife us.' And after the climatic knife-fight, the soldiers take to the road with empty weapons? Who financed this trash? Send me money. I'll buy the stories of veterans, put together a righteous action-adventure drama. ghfrost google that name
