That whole sequence where James decides that he and his two subordinates should run willy nilly into a town and rout out the bombers. UM, NO. Yep. That's exactly what I thought, too. Because your first responsibility is to keep your team alive, and he fucked that up pretty good. Maybe I've ODed on GK, but, seriously, there are three infantry companies behind you, and you take two soldiers to go after those kind of bad guys? Idiotic. WWNFD?

I know, right? When that happened, I was like, I hope this never happens in real life because this is a fucking stupid idea. And then I couldn't suspend my disbelief anymore because this wouldn't happen in real life, to my knowledge, so then the scene became a moment of shoddy storytelling to get the cute young one injured and to show James was an idiot. Bleh.
Nate Fick would not stand for any of this shit. And if he was in battalion command, he'd totally organize an awesome offensive and take down that neighborhood building by building until they caught those bombers. Because Nate is ninja like that.
I do think it's one of those movies that you need to see in a theatre to get the whole visual/audio experience, so don't wait too long or it might bypass the cheap theatres and then it won't be the same renting it on DVD.
She's in it for alike two seconds, seriously, so there's really no point in having a "big name", so to speak (and I'm appalled they used her name on some of the posters - like, fuck no, she's does not merit that). They should've just cast an unknown actor because she has barely any lines anyway, and just seeing her on screen takes you out of the movie. UGH.
