The Good: The individual characters probably stand out the most for this film.
Brad Pitt's character is, of course, the most intriguing. You didn't know whether to hate, respect, or feel sad for him in different parts of the movie.
Shia LaBeouf,
Jon Bernthal and
Michael Peña had really good chemistry with one another.
Logan Lerman's character almost steals the show, and you can't help but to feel some level of sympathy for his character. When the characters are together, they each find a way to show some interesting insights of the toll of war. Besides the characters, it was also interesting to see the tank warfare. Each conflict was uniquely intense; even with the Star Wars colored gunfire. The last scene was especially suspenseful and will have you tensing up until the very end.
The Bad: It was actually kind of difficult to find anything bad about the film with out being nit-picky.
The Reason: If I had to give you an idea of which films came to mind when watching this, I'd have to say this was like
Inglourious Basterds +
300, except with a more serious tone. The deeper you get into the movie, the harder it is to pull away. There's just always something interesting, or strange, or curious that will keep you engaged. Kudos to director
David Ayer (
End of Watch,
Training Day) for really doing a good job on that note. While I don't regret not seeing this in theaters when it came out, I think it would be a mistake not to see this movie. It's a really good movie that deserves to be rented, downloaded or bought. Either way just see it!
The Rating: 9.0/10
