Yeah, I saw it because I love Jake Gyllenhaal, and, because I loved American Beauty. Sam Mendes did not disappoint, in my opinion. A LOT of people did not like this movie at all, though. Mostly what I'm hearing for negative things is that it's boring and no action. Just as a bit of a warning, don't go into it expecting a lot of war, because it was Desert Shield/Storm. They sat around waiting for months, and, had four days of action. There are plenty of bloody war movies out there to satisfy those needs, unfortunately. This one is about character development and friendship and how war affects people differently. I really liked it. I hope you will! I've heard that Jake's near nude scenes are the only thing worth seeing in this movie, but, I personally thought it was just a perk.
