I had no expectations when I watched this movie, except for the fact that the legend R. Lee Ermey is in the movie.
The only positives about this movie are that they hired a huge amount of people to represent accurate company and platoon sizes. The uniforms are mostly accurate, and the setting is beautiful.
Aside from that, the rest is just horrible. The acting is SO bad, that I thought I was watching a parody or an unfunny comedy for the first 45 minutes.
The script is a disaster and impossible to follow. Even though I am a highly researched military enthusiast about every American war since WW2, I was unable to follow because the plot was non existent.
If we were still in the 70's and 80's, this movie could have been used as propaganda by our enemies to build confidence that they can beat us in war by making us look like a bunch of idiots, with no training, no brains, no discipline, no courage, and a complete display of being sloppy, inept, and cowardly, refusing to follow orders, mutiny at every rank, and being a bunch of losers.
I want to love this movie.. I really do, but I really can't because it's too horrible.
