Amazing movie that is centred around everything but the actual fighting during a war. You really get the sense of team spirit, or lack of same, from this sniper unit, and you feel their frustration of preparing for a war that is just beyond the horizon but never actually shows its face.
The acting is well done and the story is very well executed.
If you are a fan of sniper movies and/or the U.S. Marine Corps or if you have a historical interest in the Gulf War, this movie is absolutely recommendable.
