Highly
original and somewhat jaded look at a group of soldiers,
led by George Clooney, who plan to take some loot back with them at
the end of the Gulf War. The film shows the absurdities of war, including
the absurd ways people die for no apparent reason. After all, the
setting for this movie is after the war has ended, but everything
is just as dangerous, and death can be just as random. While the American
soldiers seem noble in wanting to help some of the poor Iraqis, they
are nevertheless thieves looking to steal their fortunes. A story
as old as the hills in a contemporary setting. Very much worth seeing!
