  Review by colinville ★★★

  pretty sick actually, for a movie about war photogs, it’s awesome how much actual war footy they’re using.

  not the best war movie you’ll watch but p solid and def a dif spin. i imagine this is the first or v close to the first of any war movies to focus on cameramen in war. the contrived romance plot is ofc wack as hell, but it moooooostly takes a big back seat in the last act thankfully. 60/100

  i can't believe this movie both acknowledges the US defeat and presents a danger-free war for all our heroes in the marine corps
