Amazing, a for real boring so called war movie. I stopped even trying to keep track of all the cultural misfires. I think reruns of Married With Children would have more dramatic values than this soggy piece of white bread. And as for the acting I think this would have been better as a cartoon show, i.e. without real people as actors.Amazing, a for real boring so called war movie.

Wow. Nine seasons on and these incompetent goofs still haven't learned how to fight as a group or even get half decent hair cuts.
By the way, nine seasons on, like nine years, where are these walking dead getting the calories, 3000 per day, they need to keep on walking? Nine years, 3285 days, 9,855,000 calories per walker for a 12 hour day. Double that as the show implies they keep walking 24 hours per day. And that is per corpse. This show has run its course, please kill it.Wow. Nine seasons on and these incompetent goofs still haven't learned how to fight as a group or even get half decent hair cuts.

Typical left-wing blah, blah. He uses so many words the act of reading his book is physically tiring. The only take away I can see is that when you get to the end, if you get to the end of it, you can congratulate yourself on having slogged through the 200 plus pages of it.
That's why the right-wing-nuts tend to have the publicity advantage. They claim to have the facts and talk as if that were true. They also use fewer words, i.e. more toothy slogans.Typical left-wing blah, blah. He uses so many words the act of reading his book is physically tiring.

At least Eastwood is now dead and we won't be bothered with tripe like this anymore. This flick, i.e. not a film, presents like a cartoon story board of what film should have been. If this is anything to go bye, Eastwood never read a book in his life. Patrick from Sponge Bob has more dramatic depth than any of the losers in this flick, as in flicker, black and white, pre Charles Chaplin silents.At least Eastwood is now dead and we won't be bothered with tripe like this anymore.

Disappointed. Me too. But for different reasons. Although I agree with the change of tone comment. Spoiler Alert.
Rule #1. If you go for a walk in the desert, carry your own extra water. duh
Rule#1B. If you have a four wheel drive vehicle and you're on a rescue mission, drive the vehicle as far as you can. 8 mile return trip on foot is only good in the poorly written script.
Rule #2. If you get into a gunfight and your deputy gets shot, and you're the last man standing, bandage the deputy, stop the bleeding, before you do the long drive to the hospital.
Rule #3. Always use the first aid kit you have, always, stashed in the back of your SUV.
Rule #4. Not having a cell phone, usually paid for by the city, is a poor excuse for anything.
Rule #5. Setting up family members to do your revenge thing is so déclassé.
Still have six episodes to go.Disappointed. Me too. But for different reasons. Although I agree with the change of tone comment. Spoiler Alert.

One on one violence is called pornographic.
But many violent on many is called heroic.
I think this film demonstrates how much we need to expand the meaning of pornography.
It never asks the real question. How did these reasonably intelligent people allow themselves to be manipulated into such a stupid slaughter? We're a hundred years removed from this 1918 butchery, and still we are sending naïve, i.e. stupid, young men off to die in foreign wars.
Besides the movie is reminiscent of what used to be called Kitchen dramas. Plays in a small room. Overall the acting is competent but the rest of it is a string of tedious clichés.One on one violence is called pornographic.
