    ★★★★★

    By any measure most disturbing and realistic war film to date. That said, this film feels not so much about war as about death, dread and fear.

    Hip Hop, Samurais, Italian American Gangsters, Jim Jarmusch - Everything I love stuffed into a film and somehow a tragically massive let down. It had its moments, but for the most part the story was boring, the acting was poor and I know nothing about editing but even I could tell it was sketchy. So many great ideas that were terribly delivered. Good thing RZA was on the music - the soundtracks was the one redeemable factor. This should of been my favorite film, what a waste.
