What is wrong with you?
I was going to ask the same question of the rest of you. I'm not trolling or being facetious - really did not like that much about it in any way, shape or form. I did finish it, which is probably more than it deserved but don't see any redeeming qualities in the film. Was it the guns that were supposed to make me hard?

It wasn't as good as Training Day but I liked it for what it was brainless eye candy.

That is acceptable - pretending that it is fine film making is not.

I'll agree that the movie wasn't *great*, but I think it did a pretty good job of capturing that "gung-ho smart-ass" who at some point becomes "in the shit and intelligently fearful" which probably is something some of us have been at some point.

Had some decent dialogue, too... you gotta admit "Hey, Sarge, if we kill someone in X13, can we go back to X9?" is pretty funny.
