Thank you, Mr. Scott. The one thing this movie is lacking is character development. But I’m not going to criticize it for that. Scott did not make this movie to get a couple of actors’ Oscar nods. We don’t learn, nor do we need to learn, these soldiers’ histories or where they’re from. We see them as a group of young men, not fighting for their country, but doing a job that they were assigned to. Josh Hartnett, Tom Sizemore, Ewan McGregor and William Fichtner are some of the more recognizable actors in this movie, but as soon as the shooting starts,telling the different soldiers apart can be a bit confusing. This movie was made before the Sept. 11 attacks and was questionable as to whether or not it be released. But the decision to release it was not so people could go to it to gain a sense of patriotism. If you do, great, but this is a brilliant piece of filmmaking, and that’s a reason, if any, to see it.
