I guess I did rent the wrong one.... I meant to pick up a video about some Apache unit, which theoretically could also have been bad. But not too likely.
When I saw the ratings y'all had given this, I thought maybe I might disagree.
However: I also noticed the FLIR & DLIR switched being flipped to engage the countermeasures.... I find it quite sad that ~I~ noticed that, and the producers didn't- as I've only read a few books about the subject at hand.....
And the acting? I suppose it COULD be worse. But not much.
The plot? I personally questioned the degree of disrespect given by "Hollywood" towards his commanding officer. How accurate is that? I've never served in any branch of the Services, but I find it hard to believe that any commander at any level would put up with what he got in this movie. Of course, it IS "just" a movie, but still...
I suppose this was better than watching Richard Simmons, with no disrespect to said individual intended....
