Just tried to watch this movie. Almost checked out when the sergeant (played by Samuel L. Jackson) is chewing out the formation of Ranger candidates while wearing Spec-4 rank insignia on his collar; actually shut it off when it showed a woman in the jungle training course about 5 minutes later (this movie is from the late '90s, I think).

I really can't stand it when military movies don't bother to get basic things right. Maybe that stuff is explained later, but just immediately made me think this was probably a very lazily-made movie.

I wouldn't exactly call this a military movie...

I wasnt looking at your ass. Well maybe a little bit, but it was strictly in a professional way.

Anytime you know something about anything, Hollywood gets is wrong.

One of those movies that I just wanted more. Had a solid cast, a great director, interesting premise, but the execution was just so so bad. I think on first watch I enjoyed it, but subsequent viewings it fell apart. I can still turn my mind off and watch it from time to time bc it's a good looking movie, but damn, so many holes

Maybe because it's the first movie I watched with my now wife but I have a strong affection for the movie despite how terrible it actually is.

The twist isn't bad.

I particularly like the fact that a bunch of old timers get that ship running in the movie battleship. It really helps me get a feeling of what life is like as a veteran.
