Review by Tutu67613

Feels cheap. Cheaply done humour cheaply done drama. Why does he and his friends have Boston accents when they're supposed to be from Manhattan. The set looks cheaply done too. Was hard to feel any heavy weight certain scenes were trying to portray cuz they even had Cheap makeup/cgi on injured/dead soldiers. I kept thinking one of them was gonna get up and crack a stupid joke

There's nowhere throughout the movie where he shows he has a character transformation yet there it ends with him basically having had a rude awakening to the truth of war. What would make us believe that, when even at the last 15 mins of the movie he's still arguing with Russell's Crowe character that the press is wrong about the war and there's good stuff about it and should make it look pretty. Only saving grace here is Russell Crowe but he's only in the movie for maybe a total of 8 minutes.

I think it's trying to be dark humour but hard to laugh at the cheap attempts at funny scenes when everyone around him is serious about war.maybe they were trying to go for satire? Can't tell because whatever it was they were going for, it just wasn't delivering.
