Did they not even stop to check to make sure they were using the correct rifles? the M-16 A-2 mod was adopted in the mid 1980s based on a requirement by the Marine Corps and did away with the fully automatic setting. It was replaced with 3 round burst. The hand guards were also modified (both are round) in later models. Also, at the end, the Yong San sign is spelled wrong (it says US Eight Army when it should say US Eighth Army).It's a somewhat entertaining B movie, all in all. About what I expected, though the quality of the writing doesn't do the actors and actresses abilities justice. Ah, also, the instructor at the end was one of her training squad. I don't recall her rank, but obviously you don't get selected to be an instructor at Ranger school less than a month after you graduate from said school.

You should know that direct-to-DVD movies about the military are going to be full of tired cliché's. This one put just about every single one I can think of in the mix.Kathleen York has an Oscar nomination for Crash, but it is for the music. Stick to that because we don't need another G.I. Jane. especially one that gets a Ranger badge just for being slapped a couple of times.Michael Biehn (Aliens, The Terminator) was her love interest and probably the best thing about this flick. At least he appeared to know something about being military.R. Lee Ermey (Full Metal Jacket) made an excellent slimy Senator, and I always enjoy Grace Zabriskie ("Big Love").I guess there is a good reason I have not seen anything before this that was directed by Stephen Milburn Anderson or written by Paul Sinor. It is not likely that I ever will except by accident.

This is supposed to be an intense movie, but it just misses. Instead it is a physically dark mess. I am an Adrian Paul fan, but I gotta say, he just missed here also. He was too over the top as an intense soldier. Instead of intense, he was laughable.This is a thin plot, combined with a poor script, lack-luster performances, and boring cinematography. The only saving graces with this movie is that the score is decent (not memorable, though) and some fairly good special effects.This movie is a complete waste of time and only deserves a five out of ten. Watch three kings instead!

This movie was bad. And i usually like the low budget military movies. The only thing that i even half liked about the movie was the knife fight between Michael Bien and Adrian Paul. And it was kinda crappy. You would think with two action movie and tv show veterans like them at least the fight scenes would be better than they were. Ah hell. I could barely sat through the movie once. NEVER AGAIN
