Ratings and reviews

Seen the film, some what good. The iraq war is better portrayed in generation kill, as it shows off both sides of action and drill/routine

Portrays the boredom faced by front line combat troops. If your looking for an unrealistic, gung ho, action packed war film, this is not it. Realistic to a point.

This is a good mix of action, proceedure and an illustration of the monotony inherant in operations, particularly how the military cope!
