There hasn't been a war film this loud & aggressive since Black Hawk Down so it's a bit of an attack to the senses after all is said and done, however Berg manages to pump out some strong emotions to balance everything out. The introduction of the men cheaply manipulates you into caring for them which is a little insulting to the viewer but the combat scenes are so impressive with it's editing, bat-shit crazy stunts, sound design and photography you can't help but be drawn in.
It's heavily flawed in the character development but the performances from the four leads and the direction keep you interested in the final outcome.
