Review

it’s a nice enough idea for a film, but it’s not at all well-executed in any way. there are some mtv moments with photo/home video montages and music that seem misplaced, there’s some bad acting, some bad military advising, etc. it’s a long feeling film whose only real redeeming quality is the ending which just affirms reality in that it denies the movie ideal wherein the hero some how wins some moral victory by leaving the country or changing the system and getting the girl at the same time. in reality none of those things happen and life goes on..
