Bennett's War (2019)

This flick asks, "How many U.S. Army Rangers does it take . . . "

[7/10 · 9 September 2019]

" . . . to change a light bulb?" Mr. BIG once said that "There's no crying in baseball," but BENNETT'S WAR proves that there is plenty of sobbing when Rangers tackle harrowing household tasks such as illuminating a toddler's bedroom. While every summer film may not be able to pay proper tribute to America's Pastime, MLB seems to be a far more likely place for "Sgt. Bennett" to "man up" than tooling around dirt bike race ruts. Merely being a FAN of a team such as the Detroit Tigers is enough to force ANYONE to grow a pair. Motown ball diamond spectators with pre-existing and credentialed physical challenges are not surprised to find themselves quick-marched down rain-slicked stairways by gun-toting DPD officers in the middle of thunderstorms while play continues uninterrupted on the field!! "Last call" for upper deck rest rooms often precedes the Seventh Inning Stretch, and season ticket holders must plow through a gauntlet of impatiently barking security guards on their way to the post-game "Happy Hour." California Moto Cross is strictly a minor league exercise, compared to the Tiger Ticket Buyer Trials held 81 times every summer in Detroit! No doubt BENNETT'S WAR would end with "Marshall's" Unconditional Surrender if he ever tried to brave the not-so-friendly confines of Motor City Baseball!
