And one that goes very wrong, as it turns out. Jackson.Īll of our poorly fleshed out characters get the good news that they are to be sent home, but they of course have one last mission before they can step foot on the plane. We also meet the doctor Will Marsh, played excellently (as usual) by the great Samuel L. We are introduced to a group of National Guard soldiers, Vanessa Price (Jessica Biel), Tommy Yates (Brian Presley), Jamal Aiken (Curtis Jackson), and we also meet some others who don't make it through the rest of the film. At least these battle scenes were filmed in Morocco and not Southern California, though, as I first suspected. It begins in Iraq, where an insurgent carries the dead body of a dog filled with explosives, and I instantly think we are in "Black Hawk Down" territory, but boy was I wrong.
