USA Today can lick my...  

interesting read

Interesting indeed.

Doesn't sound like they all disliked it.

I enjoyed the movie...but thought that the plastic baby was weird.

My first thought when I saw the subject was 'who cares what they think...'

Ummmm interesting

Couldn't agree with you more!

That was my impression as well. Sounds like the people they interviewed were mostly supportive of the movie and the effort to remove terrorists. 

When I read the article it started off fine... curiosity about how people there reacted to the film.

Where it went south, in my opinion, is when the reporter asked questions like: "When asked if he thought the movie was racist or anti-Arab — a charge made by some critics in the West..."  USA Today stopped reporting and pushed an agenda.

And then to quote this...  "The sniper, he has a chance to hit the child and his mother in their foot or anywhere without killing them, but he didn't because he's bloodthirsty like all the American troops."

Yea, that's it... American troops are bloodthirsty and a movie about an American soldier is racist... nice work USA Today.  The article was written with one intent - to perpetuate those lines of thought and the interviewees were lead there by the reporter.

Oh, and they pulled the movie from some theaters because it was too violent?  The irony is so think it could be cut with a knife, eh, a fork, I meant to say fork.

Just sounded to me that most of the people liked it, even though the government employee did not. The government employee's statements were no worse than half the s**t I hear coming out of the mouths of our own politicians. If anything, the only agenda I would see this article pushing is that the people of Iraq disagree with their government. I think that is a good thing to point know.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but am hoping to next weekend.

Let me know how getting your   licked goes    
Do they do that at the "Tenderbox" ? Lmao

Its a war movie.I like war movies,but its just a movie if you don.t think you'll like it don't go to watch it.

It's a movie Hollywood would have taken liberty to modify where they see fit. I would take it with a grain of salt whereas The movie Fury was ok but it had some liberties taken there as in combat tactics with tanks. A tiger tank has an advantage of distance and would never move unless required to it can shoot a mile away and nail its target but a battle scene where they dance around is a better movie. I will need to watch Sniper and see for myself I do like all kinds of war movies. The one that started the realism on the field showing what happens when s**t hits the fan I think was Platoon in Vietnam. Curious what you guys think on the Hollywood liberties on these types of movies?

That was an interesting read, thanks for posting.
