Watch American Soldiers For Free

Don't listen to the negative reviews

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

This movie was a literal smack in the face of soldiers that served in OIF, like myself. I cant believe that this movie was so horrible. I have been in the National Guard for 10 years now with 3 deployments as an infantryman, to Iraq, and this movie was not even close to the real deal. First of all, National Guardsmen are no longer "weekend warriors, that just signed up to help fill sandbags when it flooded in our communities" That was a direct quote from this horrible movie. It enraged me to no extent. Second, ya there are some ambushes and IEDs but not to this extent! Its just ridiculous. It also portrayed the jihads as being courageous and relentless fighters, which is NOT the case. They are known for their shoot and scoot tactics, very cowardly. Don't waste your time this movie is garbage...Don't believe anything you see.

I don't think the plot was great or really the writing or acting. But it was telling a hard story, that doesn't have much of a plot in real life. I was not in Iraq but I was in Afghanistan in 01-02. I seen that for the most part no the insurgents/Al-Qs/Fedys or what have you couldn't aim. Not saying that all of them sucked but we started joking about purple hearts, (medal for getting wounded in action) calling them Al-Q marksman ship awards. I watched a mortar attack from less than 400m that flew over the heads of everyone that was the target and land 100m behind us. Most of you who are gripeing about the movie, have never really seen a war, you have never seen how people act in a war. This was as good as I expect out of someone who was never there. But you all are also the same people who think Cloverfield is a good movie.

Isn't it "strange" people from Europe and Canada take time to sue a movie review to bash America? Go figure? Actually, American soldiers have a lot of empathy for Iraqi people. If you would pull your head out of your CNN induced butt, you would know that. It isn't Amry propaganda.....if anything it is anti American propaganda....Americans mistreat captives, no one wants to release them or make it stop, etc etc etc..meanwhile American citizens get the heads chopped off while the ACLU and AMnesty International etc etc complain about us interrogating known terrorists by cursing at them..........and spare me the war for oil crap.I thought we already had that war.oh wait. we never took their oil........funny thing is if we had taken Saddam out then.this would have never happened........by the way.we still haven't taken their oil....

Although I agree this movie was preachy and had no shortage of plot holes, I think most of these comments were way to harsh. Sure the acting was bad and it did look like they pulled most of these guys out of the local high school, but isn't that how the military finds most of their young men and women. Also if it looked like most of these soldiers had never held a gun before that's probably because they never have, they are just actors after all. And to all those service men who have left comments remember not everyone is in the army and thats who this movie was made for: civilians. Sure the Humvees took dozens of RPGs, but this would be a very short movie if everyone died in the first 15 minutes.(I did think the part in the police station was the biggest loophole. When the RPG took out the side of the building and blew everyone away but when the guys were in a Humvee they wouldn't even be phased by an RPG.) Also if if it seemed like they got into way to many firefights in one day, thats because they had to make the movie interesting. If the movie was just them fighting one truck load of Iraqis for 15 minutes then doing nothing but driving for the other 75 minutes what would be the point. If you wanna watch a high budget Hollywood block buster of people doing nothing but trekking for 2 hours go watch lord of the rings. To all these so called movie buffs who think there movie experts because they work at Mcdonald's all day then spend the rest of their time watching movies. Just because you were an extra in the movie of the week being filmed down the road of your small town doesn't make you Roger Ebert. Remember not everyone is Spielberg and has 120 million to spend making a movie.(Anyone know the budget on this movie?)Furie has made more movies then any of you and i give him respect for making a movie that went somewhere no else was willing to go.
