    Obviously a low budget movie, but not bad for a "B" movie. IMHO the story was good and I found the cursing realistic having been in a similar military unit. They also really captured what life is like when not at the front, not your typical Hollywood war movie.

    Foul language, poor special effects (blood looked like orange/red paint.), and computer generated images made you feel like you were watching animation.
