What I took away from the whole thing based on the one time I saw the movie was that that was kind of the point; it was showing that unless you're in the right place at the right time war is boring as fuck.

I like it when war non-fiction includes the parts in which exciting stuff isn't happening, letting you see what it was like between action or out of the way of the action




This is really good about portraying the daily life, mentality, etc of the subjects and touched on that sort of thing most rather than focus mainly on combat. The books I've read about the Rhodesian Bush War are really good about it, too, with most of it being about EVERYTHING the person had to do and what they did in their downtime

Here I thought the reason why Freddy Prinz Jr. wasn't on TV anymore was because he was Freddy Prinz Jr. But since when is being short being unprofessional?

If this is supposed to be a sequel, what's the V8 Interceptor doing there? As we recall, it was wrecked and blown up in MM2.

Sutherland is no doubt a great actor, but I've heard he can be difficult to work with.

Freddie didn't really get into specifics regarding Kiefer's professionalism. I always thought there was a clear distinction between being difficult and being professional. It could just be a personality clash, but I'm sure Kiefer showed up every day on time and ready to work. But as people mentioned in Kiefer's defense the other day, they keep bringing him back.

And I've heard of actors inflating their heights, but 5'4" seems a bit low. It seems a bit odd that he's short though. His father is listed as 6'4".

Ryan Reynolds is merely sufferable here.
