2000 Movie
Dir. Joel Schumacher · Germany, United States of America · English
An awesome anti-Vietnam war, Vietnam movie starring Colin Farrell. He plays a soldier who is too smart for his own good and who does his part to protest the war while serving- a sort of 1970’s Yossarian. Although this film doesn’t show a lot of action, a good deal of it takes place during training and it reaches very psychologically tense points at times.
A group of recruits go through Advanced Infantry Training at Fort Polk, Louisiana's infamous Tigerland, last stop before Vietnam for tens of thousands of young men in 1971.
"This take on Vietnam War doesn't break new thematic ground but it's Schumacher's best film since the 1993 Falling Down, and it showcases the talents of newcomer Colin Farrell, who has everything that it takes to become a major Hollywood star"
