The Hunt for Eagle One (2006)
Not a box office hit, But still not bad
Not a bad movie overall but lacks some special effects to beef it up, The Plot is at times a little weak, And I cant get the thought that the production team may have worked on the A-Team(Once you've watched the movie you'll understand). I Have seen better but its still entertaining and if your into Modern war films you will enjoy it. Of the new war movies this is not as hardihood as "Jarhead". As Another reviewer states it does seem a little on the low budget side but this doesn't detract from the fact its worth watching,The lack of training by Military ad visors does show with particular relevance to the handling of the weapons used by actors(anyone that has served in the Military will know that its a cardinal sin to bury the muzzle of a rifle in the dirt and that real weapons actually eject shells whilst firing). My advice is not to pick holes in the movie as i do or you maybe disappointed
Jarhead (2005)
At last a war film from a personal prospective
This has got to be THE best modern war film ever released, Its got realism oozing out of its pores,If you were there in the hot climate, Bored,Overtrained,Waiting for the Go you will definitely not want to miss it. The acting is superb throughout,The producers and director deserve a huge amount of praise for this film,It shows the human weakness that is present in a conflict manned by young soldiers. It also does an excellent job of showing that war isn't won by a small group of hero's that have endless supplies of ammo, But by the support of a huge team of people that most movies ignore. What a fantastic story Its almost realistic,very Intense emotionally, and shows that the military still don't recognise the true cost of Mental stress in its serving personnel
