This review was found on a movie review website (ericdsnider.com) which I found through Rotten Tomatoes. Eric Snider wrote the review and he had given the film a grade of a B-. In the review he discusses how "a film about the Persian Gulf War would be about '90s values like media coverage and greed." Snider mentions how the film seemed to imitate Spielberg's movie by "using that jittery cinematography, and even nearly copying the point-of-view audio effect used to show what a man's hearing is like after he's been shot." But Snider also mentions how David O Russell uses a good technique in which he stages a scene where bullets are fired and the bullets are followed to their destination. Snider continues by saying the film had not true point to it, and the characters did not learn anything in the end. He states that the characters are static, except for the one who dies, which in a sense is "cynical."
