it is a bit over the top. The music is too much. I like how in the last scene the hundred or so enemy troops can't seem to hit the guy in the middle of the frozen lake with machine guns, artillery shells, tanks, or sniper rifles and while the enemy troops attempting to do so are being blown to smithereens by slo-mo helicopters they apparently can't hit either, some kick azz symphonic uber patriotic music is playing for the good guys in the background.Too funny. Also, Hackman's acting is too melodramatic. Of course maybe the script is a little too thin to allow it to be otherwise. He's good in the beginning (or his character's lines are) but as the movie goes along the stuff he says seems really canned. He has like a dozen or so one liners that could be the tagline of the movie on the poster. I'm spending too much time on this. One last thing though. When Owen's navigator gets to the rendevous point initially and they lose contact with him over the radio, noone seems to have any idea where he is when he just got finished getting to the spot they told him to go. Bad miss in the editing room.anyway, a good entertaining movie, but as someone mentioned about suspended disbelief, it's a must. and for the folks outside the US that seem to think this is the manifesto of the American public's view on Serbians, it's just a movie. Chillax.
