Glad I missed this for 16 years! Kutcher 👎🏽
15 May 2022
Holy $hit Ashton Kutcher is just a horrible actor. He isn't the least bit believable as a tough guy military man. He isn't even believable as the "leader" of all the candidates in this coast guard program. His lines are cringeworthy and cheesy. Trying to pull off a smooth Tom Cruise and he just isn't the guy for that.

Kevin Costner is great as always. He can carry a movie, Kutcher can't even as the lost puppy. He makes the stupidest faces. Can't stand the guy on every level.

The movie is predictable and been done so many times before.

Costner is a strict instructor who kicks people out of the program for the smallest f up but yet AK stays out late with a woman, misses morning training and all he gets is yelled at and extra exercise. Wasn't consistent.

This could have been great with some different supporting cast members.
