The subject matter of this film is something I try to stay clear of. Like most of us I know it's out there but for my own state of mind, I would rather skip down the yellow brick road. So why did I see it. To be truthful because of Arnold Vosloo who I think is a greatly overlooked talent.
But the movie, even though I did not want to think about such things did make me think. The way the movie was make with it's "Breaking New" fourm just added to the effect. And made it look real. After it was over. I could not help but ask myself some long avoided questions. Just how much does the media add to the panic for the sake of good ratings. How "many" time's has our government white washed what they tell us. Just how many of our service men have been used and discarded. And how many people are there like me who just let it ride because we don't want to deal with it.
Thanks to this movie, I'm going to start dealing with it. I'm going to be more aware of what is going on. I may skip down a yellow brick road. But you can be sure I'll be ready for the brick wall at the end of it.
