It starts off showing super stereotypical, loud and closeted jocks from random teen comedy.
Then, they're somehow US Marines. Then, they're getting wasted and hitting on anything on two legs at a bar. Then, they're athletes, running home while dead drunk. Then, one of them kills a guy and other, and half-brother cop (Who is also a reservist US Marine staff sergeant, *why* it's of any importance, hell knows) captures him. Then, he goes to prison and gets jumped on by guards. Them, we're suddenly in Iraq where cop/marine dude deals with an IED. For some unknown reason. Perhaps so we'd care more about that cutout character, thank you for your service and such? Didn't work for me, though.
And that's a half of the movie. It's so dull, loose, random, without any direction or sense of realism that you'll be fighting sleep by then. Doesn't help that it's super low budget and shot via most obnoxious yellow/green filters one can buy.
I'm sure there's (an idea of) good drama somewhere deep in there, but randomness and horribly cliched characters make it really, really hard to care for any of them.
Avoid.
