War films have been around since the commencement of the motion picture industry. Some of my favorites include The Deer Hunter, Glorification, Natural on the Fourth of July, Full Metal Cap, and Economy Private Ryan. The Persian Gulf warfare has been virtually untapped, with exception of Ed Zwick’s outstanding Courage Under Fervour.
Surprisingly, this plastic film emerges as i of this year’s biggest treats. It’s an groundbreaking, irregular, and highly original war picture unlike whatsoever other I’ve seen. Writer-director St. David O. Bertrand Russell (Flirt With Catastrophe, Spanking the Rascal) has fashioned a hip, energetic moving picture around combat and pity. He makes heroes out of the most unlikely of soldiers, but never once do you question their actions. The film likewise shows amazing amounts of simplicity, even though the previews make it appear pretentious and pontifical. He also uses unconventional, highly advanced camera techniques that aren’t common in warfare films, and they’re sure enough a receive change of pace.
