Wow !!! or as Christopher Walken says, "Wow we wow wow!" Great film starring Jake Guyenhaal (Donnie Darko) and Jamie Foxx. Story about the first Gulf War and marines. Very realistic portrayal of the boredom, tension of waiting for war. Also interesting commentary on the role of traditional forces versus the high tech air war (shock and awe?) Incredible performances - oscar level. Great script. I loved the scene where these marines are killing an evening watching a movie on base, none other than Apocalypse Now!. They were cheering when the airborne choppers descend on the VC village - screaming out of their seats - they love war! Kill! Destroy! Hoo-rah! I loved it. Great scene. A must see. I really enjoyed watching Jake act - he is absolutely fantastic, great actor. You could sense that in Donnie Darko, but it really comes out here. See this movie!!! Warning - not a date movie.
