SPOILERS!!!
Saw it last night with a group of dads. Wow; fantastic movie.
The scene in the apartment was very uncomfortable, especially once Bernthal's character entered the fray. I thought he skated borderline mental retardation most of the movie, but I appreciated his reconciliation with Norman in the farmhouse at the crossroads.
Pitt and Lebouf were great. I read that Lebouf became a Christian because of his experience.
The only thing that bugged me was all of the tracer fire. It seemed excessive and looked too much like Star Wars. But it certainly left the impression of how violent and random a firefight can be.
I was speechless afterward, largely because we lose this generation each day. They'll be gone before we know it. Evil will rise again -- maybe we are already seeing it in the Middle East -- and it's hard to fathom the complete sacrifice we as a people would have to make to ensure victory. I'm not sure we have the resolve as a nation anymore, and it's hard to imagine a group of hipsters in skinny jeans and earrings freeing the world from the clutches of tyranny.
