The acting was good in this film, but the writing and directing were just bad. Some of the things the characters said were ridiculous. It's like this Christopher-Lee Dos Santos knows what a character is supposed to say to make him the hero and what a character is supposed to say to make him the bad guy but he has no idea how real people actually talk.
We never learn anything about any of the characters so when one dies at the end, I didn't even know who he was. You can't kill a character and expect an audience reaction when the audience hasn't attached to that character.
Worse yet it was boring. I was almost asleep at the ten minute mark. I agree with the other reviewer, too much time spent watching them at target practice and marching down the road. Who cares? Even Rambo movies knew better than to show Rambo in target practice. When one soldier returns home at the end supposedly all tired and worn out, I almost laughed. Tired from what? Bad. Just bad.
