Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Wizard-8 Potential viewers who are considering watching this movie be aware - although the packaging suggests that this movie is full of action, it isn't. In fact, there really isn't much in the movie that could be considered action. Instead, it's a pretty serious drama concerning the going-ons at the title place. Nothing in theory wrong with that, but the execution is totally botched. The main problem with the movie is how unbelievably slow and boring it is. There's no feeling of building tension or any kind of spark that would keep a viewer interested. You'll be sorely tempted to hit the fast-forward button on your remote. To make matters worse, the movie looks extremely cheap and tacky, with horrible cinematography and next to non-existent production values. And who on earth though that strident musical score was appropriate for what aimed to be a serious drama? The filmmakers should be locked up in the brig.

rob-911-162983 I read that writer / director Kerry Valerrama was a former soldier and OEF veteran, so I allowed myself to hope that someone had actually made a realistic film about life in the post-September 11th army. Unfortunately, I was bound to be disappointed. This is essentially a very low budget murder mystery that tackles a few serious issues in passing, but doesn't reach to the core of those issues. The film is about a platoon from the 82nd Airborne (an 82nd patch is briefly seen on McManus' shoulder but then disappears in the same scene), and contains three interwoven stories. The main narrative is about Sergeant McManus and Sergeant Cain searching for their AWOL squad leader, who suffers from PTSD and has been abusing his wife. We see glimpses of McManus' home life, and how he rarely sees his family because he is always at work. There is also a b-story about three brand new Privates who are being hazed, which is mostly played for laughs (and it's very similar to how I was treated at my first unit). Most of the performances are underwhelming, although the actors who portrayed the Platoon Sergeant, Cross, and "Machine" stood out. They were the only ones who left an impression. The storyline meanders along but is mildly entertaining. There is a twist ending, which I will try not to spoil here. It somewhat makes sense, because Cross felt like he owed McManus his life and wanted to protect him. The denouement is also intentionally ambiguous, but these plot turns come across as a tad bit exploitive since the film is based on a real incident. First time director Valderrama displays a nice cinematic flourish by introducing characters with type-written name and rank information, but he overuses this device and unnecessarily introduces too many minor characters with it. The direction and editing of the opening credits, and the use of music, was also well done. Considering that this film was made for very little money, it's impressive that he pulled it off. There are some amateurish directing moments (the three soldiers kicking the bouncer) but overall he acquits himself well as a low budget film maker. The moment where Cross taps the gas can with his pistol was creepy and well realized, as was the image of him eating popcorn in the rain.I can't cover all of the many (MANY) uniform and technical inaccuracies here, but they stand out and are very distracting. I understand that uniform appearances may have to be altered for legal reasons, but American flags on both shoulders? And I was amused that Valderrama forgot what "MOUT" actually stands for. Is this a realistic look at the lives of soldiers? Eh, kinda. The characters are pretty thin and I can't say that I really identified with them. There was one nice moment in the jeep where McManus said that you can't talk to people about what they don't understand, which nicely and tragically summed up the plight of someone suffering from PTSD. If there had been more moments in the film like that, then it would have been more successful, because it's one of the few times that the audience is allowed to empathize with a character. Better luck next time.

william-urban10 Garrison is loosely based on a series of murders committed at Fort Bragg, by returned US soldiers from Iraq in 2002. Veteran Sgt. Daniel McManus (Kerry Valderrama) is ordered to track down a missing comrade in arms, eventually coming into conflict with a deeply damaged man whose life McManus once saved. This surprisingly impressive low budgeter is a commentary on the forgotten soldiers of modern warfare who have been abandoned by their government, as well as a look at the juggling of a family life and a military career - which, in this case, does not end well.First-time director/writer/star Kerry Valderrama (obviously creating opportunities for himself after starring in largely B-grade fare like Doctor S Battles The Sex Crazed Zombies!) delivers a solid piece of film-making, with interesting plot twists and convincing performances. He does, however, dip a few too many times into the big and truly dog-eared book of US military clichés - complete with brutally aggressive staff sergeants and suffering recruits. Apart from this, the plot is filled with enough suspense, mystery and evenly placed social commentary to keep audiences enthralled.

jimmiehack Usually the sound effects aren't the first thing that I notice in a movie, but they are superbly done in this movie. The acting and direction are great too, but the sound effects keep you on the edge of your seat. The suspenseful tones and the Foley artwork blend nicely with the story, yet are not overly obtrusive and noticeable. I'm not sure who did the sound effects on this movie, but I'll certainly be looking for more movies from this team in the future. The lighting and cinematography were also well done and the story and character development were also easy to follow and intriguing. I'm not sure why most people I know haven't seen this great movie yet.
