A One Star with a Helmet with a Chin Strap
4 May 2024
The title says it all. A one star general, inside, wearing a helmet with a chin strap...and a cinched waist on his BDUs. Say what? What a lame excuse for a tribute to the men who experienced those three days in Malay. The characters were one dimensional caricatures, GI Joe figures staged beyond the realm of credibility. I have been watching war flicks for 60 years and my "embrace the suck" meter pegged out on this peace of tripe. Rotten Tomatoes gave this film a 91%. I'm gobsmacked. The set staging looked, uh, staged. I am loath to find anything to recommend watching this production. A handle bar mustache is hard to imagine as a reasonable sight in any combat theater. The list can go on ad nauseam, but I won't lest my comments loose their punch.
