Do you really give this movie an A or is that called sarcasm?

I haven't seen it, but I heard it's overrated.

Your version of it, however, is awesome.

i really did like it, in all honesty. i've never been a soldier, but i have heard tell from friends who have been that it is a lot of sitting around waiting, and that's what this movie was, without being boring. also, the acting was solid.

i never knew what this movie was about or that jake gyllenhaal was in it. i always had this vague idea that it had to do with christianity but i just realized that that's because of that christian rock band (that i've actually never even heard) called jars of clay. this is clearly unrelated.

also, your review made this sound like the worst movie ever made but (a) you gave it an A and (b) jake g is a very attractive boy so (c) i will never see it because i don't like war movies.
