Tl;dr Don't waste the precious minutes of your life on this movie. I started watching this and turned it off after about 20 minutes. 👎🏼 It is not even a 'B' grade production. I would equate it to community theater with poor wardrobe and bad writing. I don't blame the actors as I believe all good movies start with good writing and this one does not have it. In one scene, they have a Sergeant basically telling a Brigadier General what to do and the General walking around with a combat helmet on in a rear area and a coat way too small for him. Totally ridiculous! A General would not even converse with a Sergeant on matters of tactics or strategy let alone let the Sergeant speak to him in the manner that this guy does. The third player in the scene is supposedly a Colonel and has only one full bird Colonel insignia above his left pocket. 🤣 None of them are wearing any unit insignia. 😖 I am pretty sure the officers would have just given orders to the Sergeant's superior officer and walked away. This is just one example of the ridiculous writing on this one. They needed a military consultant. In a subsequent scene, the Brigadier General is still walking around with a coat way too small for him and the silly looking combat helmet with a single star on it. It is pretty comical. This movie is a good candidate for a campy frat party but not a serious movie to spend time on. Happy Day!
