I picked this film out of a bin at a store. I wasn't sure exactly what it was about. I loved it. So intense. I'm very much into Military films and this one was awesome. Kerry Valderamma did a GREAT job directing this film and I would love to see more films like this that deal with the real issues that our soldier suffer from after going through war experiences.

I've read prior comments concerning the character development, the musical score, and more good reasons to kill time with this movie.I heartily disagree.The music is good, but it's sometimes overwhelming and unnecessarily hard. The characters, apart from the investigating sergeant, are cardboard characters, deprived of intelligence. I found it really hard to care about any of them, and I was continuously hoping that they would all end up in freakish accidents. Even the newbies deserved to get it up the rear end. I especially consider here the staff sergeant who goes AWOL. This guy is giving orders, and he's a total basket case. If this is an accurate description of the American army, then by God, the world is in peril. The pace of the movie is slow, to say the least, the dialogues are simple (suitable for a redneck military audience), and did I mention that the characters are despicable?I suffered through the movie, and wish all the people who think this is good and realistic all the best. I fear a society where this is your standard drama, and I advise military leaders to also select their officers based on a psychological profile, and not only on the badass crazy percentage.

A friend of mine recommended that I watch this movie. I wasn't expecting too much going in to it since there was nobody that I recognized in the cast and it seemed to be a very independent made film. After watching it however I was pretty surprised and can honestly say that I don't hate it. The cover was very misleading, making it seem much more than what it was. The movie was pretty straight forward two guys MacManus and Cain have to find there missing superior Cross and uncover the reason for why he went missing, there is a pretty cool twist at the end but that is pretty much it. If you have a couple hours to kill then take a look you probably won't end up killing yourself after it's over.

Usually the sound effects aren't the first thing that I notice in a movie, but they are superbly done in this movie. The acting and direction are great too, but the sound effects keep you on the edge of your seat. The suspenseful tones and the Foley artwork blend nicely with the story, yet are not overly obtrusive and noticeable. I'm not sure who did the sound effects on this movie, but I'll certainly be looking for more movies from this team in the future. The lighting and cinematography were also well done and the story and character development were also easy to follow and intriguing. I'm not sure why most people I know haven't seen this great movie yet.
