And here's another of the negatives, Paul.

I understand what the director was going for, the emotion and desire at the end of the movie, but I just couldn't enjoy the movie.

Like Web, maybe I'm just too close to it, but a couple of premises in the movie, I just couldn't accept and they ended up ruining it for me. Two major aspects of the movie/story just do not happen, and much like the Vets as PCs thread, I just couldn't suspend my disbelief. Once everything has been spoiled, I'll say what those two things are, but suffice it say now, it derives from the Army's former recruiting slogan, "An Army of One" in my opinion. ::burp-ghhh:: I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Paul, my advice is to rent the movie. Don't waste the money on it.
