I watched this Netflix Iraq war movie called Sand Castle - about a an airborne squad tasked with delivering water. It got panned by critics but I thought it was actually blood good and quite interesting. Superman was in it and he's a decent screen presence when Hack Snyder isn't directing him.
I wonder if critics are unduly harsh on Netflix produced films because they equate them with Direct to video?
Agree. Accidentally started watching this thinking it was that much hyped Brad Pitt war film. Just kept on watching and really enjoyed it. Not sure why it was panned by critics. The acting, subject matter etc were all sound.

This was another one that the critics hammered I enjoyed, the way they showed the decline of the main characters mental state and the effect of the stop/loss system the yanks bought in affected him were well done. The subject matter isn't pleasant which might be part of the reason it was panned.

I liked the Brad Pitt one too, different type of movie though.
I also saw Siege at Jadotville which was good, basically Netflix just sends me all the war stuff now. -
@jegga watched The Beast of War the other night, pretty decent flick, amusingly though, Russian flick about the Afghan war, made by Americans...

Yeah interesting that they chose to make it .
I was watching a bit of Lone survivor the other and then I remembered what a fluffybunny Luttrell was to the guy that saved his life and I lost interest -

Nope, well not on mine . It’s about that Korean guy that was drafted into the Japanese army , captured by the Russians , drafted by them , captured by the Germans , drafted by them and finally taken prisoner by the tanks on D-day . The bits on YouTube look fairly epic.

That's a crazy story - I'll check Netflix tonight, always lots of Asian stuff arriving on Oz Netflix.

@nepia this says my way is loosely based on him
Oh yeah, I've definitely read about him before, would be interesting to see the film version.
@taniwharugby said in Re: Movie review thread...:
@nepia its a war flick, they shoot shit, they blow shit up with limited tech...whats not to hold up
I find The Thin Red Line to be utter tosh (Malick can suck a dick), but either way I'll take your word for it

Thinking about this have you seen Cross of Iron? American made film about Germans fighting Russians . It’s a Peckinpah film so as usual as violent as all hell.

What War Movie even comes close? That's a 100% Bona fide classic of a flick.
