I saw this on cable a long time ago. Like when cable was the big deal, being a huge Kevin Bacon fan, of course I watched the film. In those ancient times, before streaming services like HULU or Netflix, we poor humble troglodytes only knew what movies were about through trailers on TV shows. Well, I guess one could find a written synopsis in a magazine or newspaper,
( Newspapers were the standard medium of information for hundreds of years, younger people reading this review may have seen them on the history channel ).
Anyway, enough filler!
My whole point is simply this: I remember this movie. It burnt a spot in my brain that will exist forever in my psyche.
Thank you for reading.

Much like Joss Whedon's Firefly, this series never found its audience because of too much studio drama. ( "Let's run the shows out of order and at different times on different nights, just to make things interesting...) Of course, I am only guessing the politics surrounding this show.
Okay, enough soapboxes: down to brass tacks.
Firstly: Karl Urban and Michael Ealy!!!
Genius casting. The chemistry between the actors boils over to the characters between Urban's character hating mechs and being forced to work alongside one, to Ealy's model being shelved for being too human.
This is a well written and captivating series.
It's absolutely worth watching.
In my humble opinion.

I was born in the post Viet Nam era. 1972.
I grew up with friends whose family had gone through the Viet Nam conflict.
The stories of my friends dads waking up in the middle of the night not knowing where they were, or who was with them. That was traumatizing its self.
Add that the government who drafted these men, just dropped them off at home and then moved to the next conflict.
Our government f@&$$&d these men that THEY CONSCRIPTED FIGHT THEIR WAR!
And dumped these YOUNG MEN into an already corrupt and broken society.
I can't express enough how our own government screwed these men that HAD NO CHOICE!
Into submission or prison.
To be forced into a situation like that is unacceptable and f^}#>g bulls;:;t!
Look, all a I am saying is this: How would YOU react if you were in that position?
