I'm an avid film watcher and it is seldom that I cannot watch an entire movie - this is one of those that is soooo bad I had to leave. Terrible acting, pathetic story line, boring, boring and not even boobies. I love fantasy but seriously there has to be a line between fantasy and bullsh!t. This crosses the line. OK so the rest is just to pad the above to get to my ten lines. Do not waste your money on this, in fact don't even download it, it will be a waste of bandwidth. Did I say the storyline was unbelievable, and full of cliché's? And the funny thing is that the movie could, with a little effort, have been half way decent. Go read a couple of history books for a start and then we can chat further. As to the audacity of one reviewer to compare this movie to Titanic, what a joke.
The only way that anyone enjoyed this movie, or found it remotely amusing, was by being so drugged out of their mind that they were actually laughing at the stage curtains moving in the breeze.
Bad, bad, bad, in Malories immortal words! Damn right that the only place money got spent was on the marketing - it was the only way they could get people into the movie house.
This entirely justifies the pirating of movies - it's actually criminal to expect people to pay to be exposed to this drivel! Do not rent this movie - rather convince your worst enemy to do so, in fact steal a copy and post it to him.

While the acting and directing could be argued as having some merit - the storyline is a very poor wannabe Vietnam movie with the country name simply changed.
At the very least, for a movie to hold some credibility, try and have some semblance of accuracy in equipment, weapons and tactics. Nevermind the gross misrepresentation of the behaviour of the troops as a norm.
Aside for the limited use as silly propaganda about the South African Defence Force, it serves little purpose - definitely no entertainment value.
Aspiring movie makers - this is how not to make a war movie. Do some research, and have some pride in your product.
