Review of I Am Soldier

I Am Soldier (2014)
7/10
Not too shabby, unexpectedly
7 April 2014
I never heard about this movie before I watched it, and quite frankly, I wasn't expecting I would sit through the whole thing. But I actually came to like it. Having seen many special forces selection documentaries, I liked how this focused on just one main character, instead of some random soldiers, whom we never get to learn about, as in the documentaries. As for realism, I found the selection training to be quite realistic. That is, it seems to fit very well with all the documentaries, but who really knows 'till you been there yourself? As for the lone action scene in the movie, I found it a bit lacking. It could have been a lot worse though. It's a low budget movie, but they generally used what they had well.

An alright movie, just one thing majorly annoyed me: There is SO much use of "black screen". Sometimes with sound, other times with nothing. At times I felt like 20% of the movie showed a black screen.
