Actually, this movie is pretty good, except the ugly part of the those soldiers on duty are absolutely disgusting. If they were really like this when they are on duty but never pay any attention to the life and death of their own soldiers on the ground, only focus on the ball game on the TV, then I think America is really in trouble. The 2nd Pearl Harbor disaster would happen when America is on the war with our two potential enemies, CCPChina and Russia. I think all of those who are on duty that day should be court marshalled, except the only two and half guys, the fatso Russel Crowe, the black fat female operator, and the guy who took over Crowe's operation, only these three should not be punished.
This is a very exciting military mission gone bad thriller. Of course there are some illogical flaws, but they could be disregarded or overlooked completely. The combat scenes are all great and look quite real, special effect, stunt, and make-up are all good. If you want to ask me how good is this movie, I could give you several reasons: 1) I didn't stop watching after 5 to 15 minutes like when the movies were so bad. 2) I didn't fall asleep and lost my consciousness from the beginning to the end. 3) I was really pissed off by those officers and soldiers on duty. Then you know how this movie made me feel so realistic.
One thing came to my mind when I watched this movie: Mr. Crowe really has to quit drinking. He's not just so out of shape, but even became so clown-like ugly. He was so handsome before, I could never imagine he'd become so pathetically disfigured.
