This film was very much typical army-new-recruit fare - seasoned veteran gets tossed in with a platoon of misfits and after much angst they grown to respect one another and fight a precarious yet ultimately winning battle. You have the smart ass, the dumb one, the tough guy, a few standard filler men and the officer in charge of the base who doesn't want them to succeed.
This film went slightly side-tracked throwing in a bit of a trying-to-win-back-my-ex-wife side plot, but overall relatively predictable story line. Clint is his usual gritty, squinty-eyed, gravelly-voiced self but it is amusing seeing him try to get in touch with "what women want". Not to mention one of the best lines ever: "I'm the ayatollah of rock and rolla" :)
I cannot imagine life without movies, but am in no way what one might typically think of as a film student. I admit to watching and often enjoying foreign films, but to be perfectly frank I love nothing more than your down n’ dirty cheesy Hollywood action flick. Generally I watch all sorts of films so have a recommendation for almost anyone; except horror (no point with my eyes shut) or anything depressingly sad (film is for fun, not tears). This is raw “real me to real you” film feedback.
