Not a soldier, never been a soldier, never going to be a soldier...love to play with the toys but have none of the skills or fortitude of those who have and who do it for real...Went to see Hyena Road...came away with even more respect for the men and women who live that life for real every day...I have recommended this movie to all my friends and family..an I have no problem recommending it on here...
Does it satisfy the rivet counters like Ed? Nope...but nothing ever has and nothing ever will...I think it is important for people to understand this is a commercial movie designed to make money...why? Because that's why people make movies...ENTERTAINMENT...and if it happens to spur the occasional "oh yeah...Canadians were there too!" moment...then really can it be a bad thing? And say what you want about Paul Gross and his movie making ability...but he just kicked that Xenophobic nationalist weirdo Clint Eastwood right in the "b-lls". Hyena Road is the Godfather compared to that ridiculous and sloppy propaganda disaster "American Sniper"
