This flick was believeable...
It was funny in parts...
I guess it's based on a true story...
But, there was no action in it...
I guess I wanted to see a good "blow **** up - action flick"... That's not what it is...
Kinda paralells life with being a musician..
What happens when you don't don't spend much time at home... You feel for the characters - hell - why wouldn't you - but I wasn't impressed...
Should have gone to see DOOM instead...

WRONG!!!

Trust me, you don't want to waste cash seeing Doom in the theater.

They had the opporutnity to make another "Predator"... instead they laid a huge egg.

Wait for Doom on DVD... or TV.

It sucked!

I saw a review on it this morning. I think I am going to like it. Seems to provide a perspective from a grunt's eyes from the point of the yellow footprints to engaging the enemy.

Like CP said previously, sounds sort of like a modern day FMJ.

It was an interesting look into a sniper's role in Desert Shield (not storm)... 65 plus days of waiting and never a shot...

It wasn't a horrible film - I was entertained, but it was like sex without the finish...
Great work-up - no bang...

yeah - believe it or not - McAllen is a nice town... Most everything is new - big houses - new theater - places to eat are new... Ended up seeing about 10 Hummers while there - mostly H2s - a few H3s...

I'm back in the comforts of my H3 in D-town!!!
