Rehash of One flew over the cuckoos nest, and cool hand luke

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, but it is nothing new.

Everyone here is grouping it with other war movies, this movie has been miscategorized! The plot is the same as "One flew over the Cuckoos nest" and "Cool Hand Luke", its in GOOD company, and it holds its own.

With a bit of Full Metal Jacket thrown in. As you say though, very good movie.

The only major similarity they share is a main character who flouts the system.

I thought exactly the same thing when I saw it. I even thought of Colin Farrell as a sort of Jesus character

Last movie seen:- Tigerland

Yeah. All I thought of when I was watching it was Cool Hand Luke. And now that you mention it, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest also.
