  Not the best HBO offering...
  
  The story line is fairly weak, but there's lots of eye candy. Gives quite an interesting view of the Marines.

  HBO do it again. This subtle portrayal has a docudrama feel and is all the more convincing for it. The focus goes from tight interpersonal blue banter firing ... read more »
