the dehumanise effect of war be a much study subject in the movie while as be the equally dehumanising and but potentially life saving and dehumanise effect of military training . joel schumacher tigerland follow the standard template and we see men treat like dirt but emerge a soldier and with a degree of mutual respect for their commanding officer and and judgement be reserve on whether such an extreme process can be consider justified while as be judgement of the merit of the war for which they be be train ( typically and a here and vietnam ) . but tigerland have an interesting take and by centre it account on a cocky dissident name bozz ( play outstandingly well by colin farrell ) and who understand that all power governs ultimately by consent and and the lack of awareness among the powerless of their own complicity . around this character and a taught and gripping plot have be construct and and it also a plus that the action never leave america ( whereas stanley kubrick full metal jacket and to name just one other film of a similar type and lose focus once the action shift to asia ) . although this be not a film of stagger originality and it supremely well do and captivate view throughout represent the best film from this director that i have see and and among the very best of it genre .
