Saw the movie last week, am not surpised it wasn't discussed here as it isn't a "Gun ho harr!" kind of movie... I liked it, and it helped me understand why Jackal seem to have a left numb arm ;)

The book was not good at all.  I couldn't force myself to get past the one third point.

Haven`t seen it, so I don`t know what the reference is to, but knowing SAW, I can imagine.

Jackal, there is a tremenbous amount of "wanking" shots involved. No wonder our wwWarriors wouldn't like it :D

Hey, I may have probs with the left arm sometimes, but I can still take you out with the right. THAT`s the one that gets all the exercise. :rofl

The movie SUCKED. They tried to copy FMJ far too much.

HOW SO?  I saw very little corelation between the two.

The movie was good imho.  It's not that an anti-war movie can't be good, it just has to get the message accross honestly.  This was a very honest movie IMHO.  This is also coming from somone that spent 6 years in the Marines.

I thought it was good. It conveyed the frustration of not being able to carry out your job as trained for, while leaving you wondering whether it is moral to feel such frustration. If he was trying to get that concept across to an audience consisting mainly of people who have never served in the military, it worked in my case.
