The most Cringeworthy war film ever made. SKIP

You know you're in the wrong war film the moment the angry young WASP protagonist asks his CO "Why me Sir?" a moment after aforesaid CO has given him a tub of platitudes and then proceeds to answer by saying "Why Not?"

Why Not? Seriously? Is that the best dialogue they can cook up?

I mean ... a film might be too low budget to afford big names or big CGI but bad dialogue is a sure sign that the film is rickety to the bone. And I wasn't disappointed.

Starting from bad acting (forgiveable) to a dodgy script filled with the unlikeliest of plots and acts, War Pigs does its best to win the worst war movie of all time award. From caricature Colonels to scrub-faced seargents who know nothing about ... pretty much anything, this film underscores how low Homo sapiens can allow it's intelligence to drop. If the slow pace and cheesy Dirty-dozen wannabe first half doesn't kill you the hilarious last twenty minutes of "Action" will.

Just pretend you never heard of this one.

There's only two things that can ruin your day when you are trying to watch War pigs and that's officers and orders. Pretty sure Kray2013 is an officer and he is giving orders so it's like doubletrouble here!

Was that supposed to be funny? witty? sarcastic? dry?

Gosh, you had all the time in the world to come up with something smart and this is all you managed?

Drill Sgt. Kray 2013? Is that you?

It was a cornball movie, that's for sure. Paint-by-numbers script. That sort of rigid formula really cripples performances. And I don't want to criticize the actors themselves, but the casting was kind of meh. Sort of a joke, but what if Nic Cage had been cast as the Captain and Jonah Hill as the Sgt?
