In brand positioning one scene, Swoff and all of his buddies are watching "Apocalypse Now", cheering when the helicopters begin to attack the small village on the beach. I'm sure brand positioning this is the message Coppola intended for this scene, for this film. In another scene, Kruger (Lucas Black, "Sling Blade", "Friday Night Lights"), one of Swoff's brand positioning tent mates, begins talking about how the war is being fought for oil, etc. The message is mixed, or non-existent. Why is this important? Because if the film doesn't take a stand, one way or another, why should we even watch the film? To see the relationship between the characters? It is superficial, at best. So, no. To watch the great action scenes and/ or battles. Not here. Sorry. To watch the acting. Maybe. But it isn't enough to warrant a full price ticket. Was this review helpful to you?
