Looks like it's gonna be pretty good. FINALLY, a movie about the Iraq War that isn't another moronic liberal anti-war propaganda piece.

It's been shown at a whole bunch of film festivals, but it's finally getting a mainstream release date on June 26th.

Ill be in A school then. Maybe I can get a copy though.

Man, I dunno. War movies are typically boring I've always thought.
Especially modern ones where even the biggest set piece conflict isn't really that impressive.

I don't know, looks like they Hollywoodized and dramatized it too much. Generation Kill has pretty much made that kind of stuff unwatchable, much like cheesy crime/cop movies and shows are unwatchable after seeing The Wire.

I've already added some "gun" Images to the page and if someone could get some screencaps from the trailer that would really rock.

I'll see, but I played the Apple HD trailer and had trouble getting shots that weren't blurry (except of the M4s).

MT2008 04-23-2009 03:10 AM

Alright, I posted some screenshots from the HD trailer. Still trying to get a shot of the Beretta, though (it's only seen for a split second in the trailer).

Yeah, I've seen it, it's pretty good.

It's a great thriller movie, but you have to watch it with the mindset that the filmmaker isn't so much trying to depict Iraq realistically as using it as a backdrop to explore the motivations of the characters.

whens release to DVD?

You guys, don't quote the spammer, it's what he wants.

Gunmaster45 08-03-2009 01:31 AM

Really, not a good idea. I'm going to edit your posts so it says "Quoted Spammer" so we all get the jokes but the spammer doesn't get the last laugh.

MT2008 08-03-2009 01:52 AM

So...getting back on topic, I just saw this movie tonight. It's really good. I highly recommend it, if you can find it playing anywhere near you. It seems pretty absurd that this movie hasn't gotten a wide release yet, because the Indie theater where I went was almost packed with people who wanted to see it (on a Sunday night!)
