1/25/10 Chad Dillon Cooper Plays like an R rated Gomer Pyle episode. 8/10/09 Jeff Wilder This is what you get if you cross Platoon and Apocalypse Now. Great first half, weak 2nd, 3/05/09 PAUL SHORTT BRILLIANTLY MADE BUT RATHER HARROWING, PERVERSE AND PREDICTABLE 7/02/08 RHawk Intense points of emotion in the movie. Great cinematography. Script not the greatest. 5/24/08 R.W. Welch A few false notes, but effective stuff for the most part. B+ 7/10/07 Total Crap "What is YOUR MAJOR MALFUNCTION, NUMBNUTS" BOOOOOM!!! 7/06/07 Corporal B., USMC I have seen the first half +1,000 times....great. The 2nd half maybe 50 times. 6/11/07 al smith amazing the best first hour of any movie bar none 1/10/07 Abs Feels a 3 episodes stuck together, but other than that it's an awesome film 6/28/06 MP Bartley the first half of training is terrific and funny. Second half is meh. 4 stars to be kind. 6/20/06 Indrid Cold A few great moments (mostly involving R.
