Yeah, I thought it was pushing believability a bit that a senior NCO like Plumley would go into combat without carrying a longarm and that the movie was just trying to spice up the narrative a bit, but then again with a guy like Plumley who's going to tell him what to do?
Personally I thought the movie did the book justice. Obviously there's only so much detail you can pack into less than 2 hours of screen time, but I wasn't too disappointed with it.
