I was just across the river with 1-5 Cav when this was going on. Very well put together and I think they did really good justice to what it was like.
I was at sadr city 1st cav, and I have never written a review about any tv or movie but I had to say something about this travesty. The acting was on all average, not good but not bad.
I guess this was okay as a first attempt. I wouldn't have seen it if I hadn't been taken by a friend involved in production but was pleasantly surprised by some elements of this film.
This is the first movie I've seen from writer/director Craig Clyde, a prolific filmmaker who has made a number of family movies. Having heard negative reports about his films, plus learning that this particular one got a seal of approval from the Dove foundation, I was prepared for the worst.
Right up there with Generation Kill and Band of Brothers. Must watch if you like realistic War movies.
We want war stories to express the paradox of war: how we hate war and how we love war; how it destroys life and affirms life's worth. Don't look for that complexity here, though.
I was looking forward to this new series, being an avid war story fan. But what a disappointment.
I was truly looking forward to this. But it gets too predicable.
Sure the acting isn't great but take it for what it is. It's a series depicting a true event that happened to US soldiers.
