Washed-Out
Rating: 4 of 10 
There was nothing to expect from this one. Yet while most of it stayed true to some sort of washed-out concept of what an action-laden war flick is supposed to be, it does stand out somehow among those for a few reasons. Owen Wilson is not so bad, Gene Hackman is great as ever, and some scenes are quite disturbing and even attempting to deliver some sort of realism.
That doesn't save the movie from its ridiculous ending and some common stereotypes, but still, it's not that bad, really. Just not good either.
