Marinec

Slovenski opis filma:

Film je posnet po resničnih dogodkih. Mladi Anthony Swofford se odloči, da bo postal marinec, tako kot pred njim njegov oče in dedek. Zelo hitro ga pošljejo v Irak, kjer se mora boriti v zalivski vojni. Po mučnem uvajanju sta Anthony in njegov kolega Troy izbrana za urjenje v ostrostrelca. Pod vodstvom narednika Sykesa in poročnika Kazinskega se znajdeta sredi puščave, kjer morata obračunati s sovražnikom. Da bi preživeli, se morajo Anthony, Troy in ostali vojaki zanesti na svojo iznajdljivost in predvsem prijateljstvo.

Originalni opis filma:

Anthony "Swoff" Swofford, a Camus-reading kid from Sacramento, enlists in the Marines in the late 1980s. He malingers during boot camp, but makes it through as a sniper, paired with the usually-reliable Troy. The Gulf War breaks out, and his unit goes to Saudi Arabia for Desert Shield. After 175 days of boredom, adrenaline, heat, worry about his girlfriend finding someone else, losing it and nearly killing a mate, demotion, latrine cleaning, faulty gas masks, and desert football, Desert Storm begins. In less than five days, it's over, but not before Swoff sees burned bodies, flaming oil derricks, an oil-drenched horse, and maybe a chance at killing. Where does all the testosterone go?
