I just watched Parker at a friend's place.
It's alright. If you like constant shooting, unrealistic action, unrealistic healing times and women it's a good movie... The plot didn't suck me in and the acting was decent I guess. Jason Statham isn't the greatest in my book. I'd give this movie a 6.8 out of 10.

Serpico was a great movie. If you liked that, you'll love "Prince Of The City" (like Serpico, based on a true story).

Manticore - "US Soldiers in the Middle East come fact-to-face with a legendary creature that a vengeful Iraqi has unleashed"
This movie is gonna be hilarious. It's on the Syfy Channel so you already know it's gonna suck. It's a "Watch it to see how bad it is" kind of movie. EDIT: Oh god.... US Soldiers driving a BTR's? Female soldiers? More shooting from the hip than Call of Duty? Blank tan uniforms with a sloppy 10th Mountain Division patch? I'm not even 5 minutes into the movie. I think at one point they called themselves Marines.

Question: Who is still alive from this 1959 western movie classic? Cast

There have been female soldiers in the Army since 1975.Solider being the term applied to any member of the US Army.They had been bared for some time from being infantry(until recently) but where in many roles that placed them into direct combat.For example AH-64 pilot/co-pilot,OH-58 pilot/copilot,UH-60 pilot/co-pilot,CH-47 pilot/copilot,E.O.D,combat engineer,Military Police, I'll stop there but the list is much longer.
The entire movie might be crap but that part is not inaccurate. Is this person not a solider to you?(her arm got ripped off by an RPG) |

Watched the Matrix films over the weekend, I still think the two part conclusion was a error.

This female soldier had to have been infantry...she wasn't EOD, Engineer, or MP by the looks of her but it's possible since everything else in the movie was screwed up.

The 10th Mountain Division does no consist entirely of just infantry surely you must be aware that any military unit consists of numerous people performing numerous duties many that are equally dangerous as infantry many that both men and women perform. It appeared by your statement that you felt that a woman being portrayed as any form of combatant was in error or undesirable.You seem to a bit unaware of what has occurred over the past 10 years in real life in relation to women in the military.Allow me to enlighten you in a modern war zone if you are in country your in combat male or female. |

The UCMJ says there ain't no gender restrictions when you're fighting mythical creatures or aliens.

I don't think it's undesirable for women to fight. I am aware of how their role has changed over the years. I honestly don't care what your gender is if you're fighting for your country. I don't think it matters. It just seemed very out of place in this movie if that makes sense.

I think that you're a bit confused there Red. In Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, this is the training mission...
"Aim down your sights!" "Always aim down your sights!" "To aim down your sights..." "Quickly, aim down your sights!" "Ramirez, show these Afghans how to aim down their sights!" "Ramirez, to liberate America, you have to aim down your sights!" "Quickly Ramirez! You have to aim down your sights if you want your family to live!"

The moment you step into the thick of it, US soldiers start charging the enemy positions like Tropic Thunder.
