Why haven't i heard of this film before?


I enjoyed the hell out of this movie! I mean, i didn't think it was a masterpiece, but it was definitely more interesting than Green Zone.

I'm not comparing the two at all, but they are both VERY similar. And its strange that i haven't heard of this movie... I guess it wasn't well advertised or something. I assume it didn't get a wide release either, judging from the box office gross.

The only real problem i had with this film is that it claims it's "Based on a true story". It's obviously 80% fictional, at least i think so... I wasn't even aware of the guy in the flick that they're trying to capture until i saw this movie, so how the hell am i supposed to know. Heh...

I recommend this movie for anyone who's interested in a old fashioned action flick with a few one liners. But if you're going expecting this film to be historically accurate or something, i'd stay away.

i pretty much feel the same way about the movie u do, but i dont think they said "based on a true story", they actualy said something like "only the most ridiculous parts of this movie are true".

So 80% fictional might actualy be on point :)
