First of all, I need to write this review, because I am very impressed. Of course this isn't the kind of movie one wants to watch again and again, but it's certainly one, you HAVE to watch, if you're really interested in Christian's brilliance as an actor.
1) You have him on screen almost all the time. No supporting role, one of the MAIN characters.
2) He's fit as hell and his spanish is just adorable. And I bet he had a hell of a time to learn that slang he's speaking.
3) and most important for the movie, I think, he plays the role of a fucked up soldier, one who gave his sanity for his country. *sigh* He shifts his behavior brilliantly. One time lovable and caring and scared. The next time totally in control and determined to get his next job, then again totally OUT of controll, loosing it completely, even crying.
I gotta say, again I am in total awe of his acting skills.
For those who have seen it, a question: Was it his fault in the beginning, that they all started shooting at eachother because he threw that lighter or cig, whatever? Where is that anyway? Iraque? Afghanistan?
I bet this wasn't running very long in the theatres, or maybe it was only for DVD release?
I'm glad Mike survived. I feared Jim would really shoot him. Of course my slashy mind works with them, but this isn't the kind of movie I could write a story about somehow. It's TOO real.

And after seeing Harsh Times, and noticing the way they speak in there, I really DON'T understand why people got so upset by his rant. Looks like in LA they speak always like that...*frown*
