Excellent war film and not at all typical. Loved the perspective from which it was filmed. Exploring the complexities of human relationships and male bonding. This exploration takes place amidst the extreme stressors of war and death, keying in on the cultural differences, biases, and fears that we all share in. Brad Pitt's role is dynamic and well acted. His character is a robust prism broken into fearless leader, cruel dictator, playful older brother, and a loving father to the soldiers he commands. All the characters are fully developed and known by the end whether they are the antagonist or the protagonist. All the actors do a phenomenal job with Brad Pitt and Logan Lermon leading the charge. I waited too long to see this film and it was a worthy watch, well rounded and well told. See it for yourself.

I had such high hopes for this one. I love the original movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis. However the writing is terrible on this one and the acting isn't much better. The story line has such great potential and they just failed. It's like watching a B series. I feel Like I'm watching a Disney series or worse. Not that Disney is bad. It's just this shouldn't be on that level. Granted I've only watched the first 2 episodes but unless it gets better this series will fail. I would have a lot less to say if IMDb didn't require you to write at least 600 characters. In short it's a terrible effort..

I simply loved this movie. Okay there were some flaws in the storyline... don't like to leave spoilers. However, the overall story was somewhat refreshing. Oh and Allison Janney who played Lou...PHENOMENAL!!!! She has proven her weight in gold as a actress who can transition from a funny sitcom star to a major contender in A List movies! It is reminiscent of John Lithgow going from Sitcom 3rd Rock to Serial Killer in Dexter or Sociopath in Cliffhanger. Jurnee Smollett did a great job as well but Janney is Stellar. She has definitely gained a fan and I look forward to seeing her in more high caliber roles in the near future.
