Oh that reminds me. The 9/11 scene was so bad. She's like "nooo! honey! come here!" and he's like :demonic:

I just sat there like oh fukk here we go :snoop:
I hated how the movie treated Mustafa like some fictional movie villain. Just corny.
i swear i recognized half these actors from the most recent season of Homeland

I actually enjoyed the film.. not everything worked, but it was a dope theater experience.. i'm sure the 70 foot screen and dolby atmos sound had something to do with it

I'm borderline disgusted at the adoration of this film. It's not a bad movie, it's just a dumbed down version of a complicated story and man.

There is a real discussion to be had about the legitimacy of the Iraq war, and about our actions and the actions of the "enemy"....but this film wanted none of that. Too bad.

I think the Vietnam movies for the most part don't fukking hide shyt or hold punches. Born on the Fourth of July, Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, Apocalypse Now, Casualties of War.

Sat thru this movie, and it ended with " he was killed
I liked IB though to be honest. It was unique and witty...and i wasn't supposed to take it seriously.

This was just republican porn all over again.

And the movie just ends with "oh yeah he dies...AMERICA!"

Hell, i'm pretty damn jingoistic myself (online that is :mjpls:) but this was just face-palm worthy.

White people are gonna eat this shyt up though. Oh well.

This is DEFINITELY wasting space on nominee lists though.

Hahah, yea wtf at the end, "he died" ....roll credits.

2/5 Netflix rating scale

The only good actor in this movie was Bradley Cooper. It was getting to a point when I was thinking to myself, "When is this going to end?". Most of the action scenes were dry as fukk. Only the first couple of sniping scenes were heart wrenching. The first one with the mother and son, and the one with the kid picking up the rpg. I wanted it to be better, but there is something with Clint Eastwood casting annoying actors. Was I the only one who hated the wife in the movie? that bytch was horrible. Almost as horrible as the asian kid in Gran Torino.

It is confirmed the baby was a doll. :russ:

"Basically, film professionals know that Eastwood likes to move fast on movie sets and recognize that he took the easy and less expensive route of using a fake baby — not even animatronic — that Cooper had to move himself to make it look lifelike!" says longtime film columnist Anne Thompson, the author of The $11 Billion Year: From Sundance to the Oscars, an Inside Look at the Changing Hollywood System.

seems more so a piece of propaganda than an actual tale regarding one of our "heroes".

mother fukkin movie got a standing O after the credits rolled, in central NJ, not even fukkin Iowa or some shyt.

also, as a tale that should have brought PTSD into light, it straight up overpassed that whole metaphor with the doctor scene...

"you good homie"
"yeah im straight/ill get it checked out"
"alright go help these peons with PTSD"
"aighty"
