post your reviews of the movie here. spoilers taken out. got a point. I liked it - very accurate from all accounts I have heard, but kind of over the top in some scenes. but I can see where they were going with it… boredom + testosterone - females + desert heat = el loco. I noticed that many of the scenes in the trailers were pulled - didn’t see the A-10 formation contrailing, the “bubble-gum shot”, etc. oh yeah, uh, lots of man ass. you are forewarned. or, if you saw the movie, yeah, didn’t dig that either. meh. not really much of a war movie, so if you are looking for a good-old-shoot-'em-ep flick, this ain’t it. if you are looking for an intense human drama about the life of one guy in the Marines in 1991, bam. _full-metal jacket_ meets gen X/Y in the desert. would have liked more action, more of his girlfreind :D, and the deleted scenes to have been left, but overall, good adrenaline moving plot and fair character building. 7.5 out of 10 my book. oohrah. -edit- somehow without reading the guidelines I managed to get it right. booyah grandma. ---

i still need to see it but i read the book and also met swafford. He was a cool guy and his book was 100% true. He spoke at RIT about experiences and the book. He also gave a chance for whoever wanted to get their book signed and talk to him for a min or two 1 on 1… Def a good read if you can pick up a copy. ---

I skipped your post, but I think posting a spoiler in a REVIEW thread is pretty silly, start a discussion thread if you wanna talk about spoilers :slap: -edit- Sounds good, wasn’t sure what to expect. It looks like a good film and I’ll hit it up. Maybe the girl who doesn’t like action/war movies will want to go w/ 😛 ---
