i have read prior comment concern the character development and the musical score and and more good reason to kill time with this movie . i heartily disagree . the music be good and but it sometimes overwhelm and unnecessarily hard . the character and apart from the investigating sergeant and be cardboard character and deprive of intelligence . i find it really hard to care about any of them and and i be continuously hop that they would all end up in freakish accident . even the newbie deserve to get it up the rear end . i especially consider here the staff sergeant who go awol . this guy be give order and and he a total basket case . if this be an accurate description of the american army and then by god and the world be in peril . the pace of the movie be slow and to say the least and the dialogue be simple ( suitable for a redneck military audience ) and and do i mention that the character be despicable . i suffer through the movie and and wish all the people who think this be good and realistic all the best . i fear a society where this be your standard drama and and i advise military leader to also select their officer base on a psychological profile and and not only on the badass crazy percentage .
