I bought this in the hopes that it would be a decent game-to-movie conversion. Although, in this case, it appears to have been based on the original book, which I did not realize existed at the time. I bought it cheap, because I doubted it would be. And I was right.
Of course, the "good" president is a Democrat, who is "bringing the troops home". FYI, the Commander-In-Chief is not in charge of keeping the troops safe, (s)he is in charge of leading the troops. We all want the troops to be safe, but their job is not a safe one. The CIC is there to command them, not coddle them.
Predictable.
They had to mention Haditha, and dishonorably discharged Marines (who became bad guys). Never mind the fact that every Marine from Haditha was cleared of all wrongdoing.
Predictable.
The really evil bad guy is none other than the "Republican" presidential candidate. Gee, I never saw that one coming.
Predictable.
The good guy magically disarms a nuclear bomb that's seconds away from blowing up (and they don't even show how he did it).
Predictable (and lazy script writing, to boot).
In short, I wasted $10 on this drivel, it wasn't even worth half that. I'm just glad I didn't spend the extra $5 on the Blu-Ray version.
