    The sniper scene is fucking annoying. Nice that they made the English soldiers are so woefully inept, and the stereotypical "I say old boy" nature of it all was almost laughable.

    Very nearly spoiled an otherwise intelligent film.

    • inept?? are you shitting me??? They were higly professional and took charge of the situ immediatelyKhurram
    • as for the "i say old boy" - wtf you talkin about? Maybe your phased to here a UK accent in a US filmKhurram
    • Are you shitting me? They all get shot straight away, and the survivors are seen hiding in a ditch drinking all the water!rascuache
    • while the heroic Americans save the day, business as usual.rascuache
    • Well no shit bat man. They ARE the heroes of the seen. But the UK take CHARGE and shout ordersKhurram
    • and their bravery puts them in the frontline when they still don't kow who or what is shooting at them.Khurram
    • I understand you may carry some by jove jingoism that you would like to see the Brits save the dayKhurram
    • but it is an american film with american soldiers as protagonoists ftw.Khurram
    • Not jingoism in the slightest, it just annoyed me that it went to the EXACT same place that every other US war film...rascuache
    • ...goes with UK characters, when otherwise it was much more intelligent than the bulk of US shootemup moviesrascuache
    • Oh, and I think most people would call is stupidity rather than bravery that got them killed, but meh...rascuache
    • Well there you go. We have differences of opinion. They did take CHARGE of the situation tho, gotta give em thatKhurram
    • Yeah for sure, unfortunate that it didn't last very long for them :Drascuache
