Buffalo Soldiers (2001)
Country: GB/US/GER
Technical: Technicolor 98m
Director: Gregor Jordan
Cast: Joaquin Phoenix, Ed Harris, Scott Glenn, Anna Paquin
Synopsis:
In the latter days of the cold war, American troops stationed in Germany engage in pointless training exercises and get high on smack cooked on the base by their enterprising clerk, a descendant of Milo Minderbender. However, when a new top sergeant arrives intent on sniffing out racketeering, the two are bound to cross swords.
Review:
Interesting satiric drama, low on laughs, which makes it all seem rather grim after a while. The point about the modern GIs' having no idea of their role in a NATO sphere of operation is well made and easily transferable to Iraq.
