ugh. my dad really wanted to see this one in the theater, i knew it wasn't exactly my style, but it's not like i'm going to turn down an invitation to the movie theater! its 100% one of those 'rah rah merica!' type movies and doesn't really dig beyond that level of depth. its a perfectly fine and well made movie, the roles are well acted and the whole thing is very competently made, its just that it was so hollow and predictable. you know exactly how its going to end- just look at the title! as i was watching it i realized that this movie is basically a horror film. it follows all the tropes of a horror film: we are introduced to some young beautiful people, we get to know them while their defenses are down and they are joking around with each other, but once the terror begins, they each get killed one by one by a faceless killer until the last remaining person has to face them and defeat them. oh, and its super gory. i'm not usually interested in war movies, and i have very little patience for patriotic garbage. this one fits exactly into all the stuff i do not like.
