• Bah humbug

  This is one of the worst films I have ever seen. I completed watching it ( for some reason unknown to humanity ) the acting is not worthy of a 1st grade school play. Why Rutger Hauer is in this movie is beyond me. Mark Dacascos as Lt. Matt Daniels is the only actor that had any of my attention during this horrible excuse for a movie .. A few assault team characters were tolerable too but not even close enough for me to even take the time figuring their names out . The rest was poorly made bad threaded and without any form of passion and nothing I'm going to recommend to any friends of mine to watch. If all you live for is war movies then by all means have fun just don't say I didn't warn you about this one . Gimme more Jarhead though :) not anymore of this .. Ever ..

  A dull plot, one dimensional characters and no money for special effects. Worst shooting ever! Magazines are emptied without hitting anyone at 20m distance and only the marines have hand grenades. Killing the bad guy is celebrated in a repeated slow motion but when he finally falls over miraculously none of the rifles caused any exit wounds. Of course what once has been just rebels now has ties to AKD (supposedly Al Qaida) and manufactures biological WMD's who just happen to be sitting right next to prison cell, very convenient. Maybe they should have called the movie "Counter Strike" like the game, so one would know what to expect.

• If you like bad acting and shoot 'm up films, this one is for you.

  A bunch of military guys and one women soldier gets captured. Another bunch of GI Joes go into save them. The bad guys torture the women soldier who remarkably is able to keep her makeup looking good through out the whole ordeal. Not many lines for the actors as they are too busy shooting everything in sight over and over and over again. It looks like they are trying to copy the Black Hawk Down film but on a very low budget. The only good part of the movie was at the beginning and that was only because it reminded me of the old WWII movies of the 40's and 50's. Rutger Hauer plays a small part as a commanding officer. It's too bad his movie career is in a downward spiral. Save your money and time.

• movie or computer game??

  this was probably one of the worst war movies i have seen in a really long time. from the very beginning it had the feeling of wanting to be a "saving private ryan" type film, but in my opinion, never made it past a re-enactment of one of those commando war hero computer games. very bad acting and continuity mistakes all throughout the film made it very clear that they weren't trying very hard to produce a quality film. it was difficult watching these guys recite their lines instead of actually acting. i was tempted to just turn it off, unfortunately i did finish it and will never get those 90 minutes of my life back! so, do yourself a favor and go rent saving private ryan, tears of the sun, or pretty much any other war movie in place of this one. you can thank me later.

• Not bad at all

  This is a surprisingly good movie, considering it is basically low budget. It is fairly realistic, too. The weapons sound like the real weapons. The actors act like real Marines and soldiers. There are some lapses in dialog, though. Some of the things the Marine lieutenant says would not be uttered by a Marine. Far and away the biggest lapse is Rutger Hauer. He is starting to show his age - unfortunately. Plus, with his long hair a scraggly 3-day-old beard, he looks more like a street person than a Marine Corps General. That notwithstanding, the military advisers did a much better job than in other movies of this genre. It held my attention, even if it wasn't Saving Private Ryan.
