I did a search but I couldnt find anything on this, which did surprise me slightly...
I went into the cinema expecting to see an exciting and funny war movie with people getting bullets through their head, if you are going to see this movie and are expecting to see what I was, dont... Its nothing like that at all.
Its about this one man who joins the marnins because there is nothing else for him to do in the real world, but as he stays there longer the more he regrets joining. These marnins are in the desert and are going into a war against Saddam Hussain. It shows the truth that some people face when they go to war in the real world and some of the situations they get into.
You basically see them walking around a desert for a while doing different things, so if your wanting to see peoples heads being blown off you will be a bit dissapointed since the only bit where you see someone die is at the beginning when someone cant take it anymore, he then stands up and dies on the barbed wire.
... If you do see thins movie expect A LOT of swearing and some sex scenes... and if your into men then there would be quite a few bits that would be to your satisfaction.
Personaly I was a bit dissapointed but at the time I did want to see some action and people dying, but if you are into the whole real life stuff and watching a movie with a proper meaning of things then I would suggest you go and see it... Overall it was a good movie with some funny bits but it does not have much action in it at all.
