This movie is about the life of a Gulf War Veteran and his experience that he wrote in a book. It stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Jamie Foxx.
The is great in my opinion I haven't had a chance to see it yet though. I hope to see it soon.

Saw it a week ago. I thought it was hilarious, especially the beginning  Though I was hoping for a bit more action. Still a great movie, I give it 4/5 stars. A must-see for any military fanatic like myself.

I thought it was ok. It would have been better had it been based on an account of a soldier who had actually fired his gun, though. All we really saw was the POV of some guys who cried every five minutes.
After seeing Black Hawk Down a few days ago, then this, I'd give it maybe 2 stars?

Well I agree that it would've been cooler if there had been a bit more action, but I still laughed through a lot of the movie. My JROTC buddies and I like to talk about it a lot. Black Hawk Down is really cool too, I should get the DVD. They used to play it on TV all the time.

That was a horrible movie, supposedly funny but no humor in it at all.
Jake Gyllenhaal is a weird freak too.
One of my most hated movies, tha i watched till the end for unkown reasons.

I just watched this. I thought it was pretty good. War movies filled with fighting get kind of boring pretty fast. Sam Mendes is a great director, and Gyllenahaal is a great actor. So it all turned out good.

Well, that, and you're as fixated on *beep* as they are.
