    A young man tries to fight the military system only to find it fighting back in unexpected ways in this hard-edged drama. In 1971, Roland Bozz (Colin Farrell) is a draftee who has been sent to the Advanced Infantry Training Facility in Fort Polk, LA, where with hundreds of other new soldiers he's to be taught a final course in combat skills before being shipped out to Vietnam. Bozz has no interest in going to war, and is determined to get sent home as a troublemaker. But his plan backfires; his superiors regard his insubordination as a sign of intelligence and independent thinking, and he's told he might some day become an officer. Bozz and his fellow soldiers -- aspiring writer Paxton (Matthew Davis), sensitive Miter (Clifton Collins Jr.), philosophical Cantwell (Thomas Guiry), bloodthirsty Wilson (Shea Whigham), and heroic Johnson (Russell Richardson) -- are taught how to survive as they face their fears of death and wonder if they can somehow escape going to war. Tigerland was directed by Joel Schumacher; in a change of pace from his best-known work (Falling Down, Batman Forever, and Batman and Robin), the film was made on a relatively low budget (under $10 million), was written by first-time screenwriters Ross Klavan and Michael McGruther, and features a cast of young, little-known actors.

    July 17, 2007: The writing was abysmal for a very well acted war movie that had grace and subtleness, two traits not noteworthy for the genre. Colin Farrell did a wonderful job as Bozz Johnson, a "Can I, Can't I" leader of the platoon who for a NCO edges on liberality and even philosophical intelligence. With bloodthirsty enemies among him and uncertain friends around him, Bozz is confrontation and charismatic all at the same time while the drill seargents see a born Marine. Semper Fi propoganda at its worst or best. Recommended .

    February 09, 2003: As a former Marine, I can tell you that this is the most accurate account of military service I've ever seen. Nothing about this film is romanticized or sugar-coated. This is not a patriotic, Idealistic american war movie. This movie expresses the fear and the desperation that a young enlisted man goes through to serve his country.
