Bearing witness to the heat and the horror is the inexperienced Private Matt Ocre (Nicholas Hoult), who, together with several fellow soldiers, is ordered to the outskirts of Baqubah to repair a water pumping station damaged by U.S. But, as Ocre discovers, in an atmosphere where resentment and anger fester, trying to win the hearts and minds of the locals is a task fraught with danger. It’s here, in the streets, squares and schools that he discovers the true cost of war. This is not a typical shoot-em-up war film. You might see more action in a documentary actually. But I like that it was written by a guy who actually served there so its true to what probably happened.

But I like that it was written by a guy who actually served there so its true to what probably happened. (That in some people's cases it was not all shooting and excitement 24/7 but sometimes other.more boring tasks like helping Iraqi's rebuild stuff etc.) There IS a fair amount of action though, its just not done with a big enough budget to be anything that great. Its really more about the characters reactions to their predicament and just telling a story of what life was like there for an 'average' soldier. Overall it was a 'good' but not great war film. (I think the budget was so low that during 1 scene they could not even show a large enough location to show who he was shooting at so you just see a close-up of a guy shooting his gun at something, but you never see at what. It takes you out of the action as you can't see whats going on in the battle like most films would show and you end up a little bored just staring at a guy shooting a gun from the same spot for 2 minutes.) That was really the biggest negative I can give it though. Otherwise it did have some good action at times and the overall story was good and there are a lot of quality supporting actors in the film that help it as well.

IF YOU STICK WITH THERE PLANNING GUIDE YOU CANT GO WRONG. Was this review helpful? October, 2012 5 stars aren't nearly enough to rate this venue! They made my daughter's wedding a fairy tale come true. All the guests were WOWED! The service, the food, the staff far exceeded excellence. Every guest felt like they received special treatment, not realizing that this is the standard the Sand Castle sets. Was this review helpful? March, 2012 My daughter & new husband held their wedding at the Sand Castle last Friday night and it turned out to be the best experience of her life. The moment you walk through the door they treat you with every courtesy imaginable. We held the service in the Garden area due to the fact that the weather was just beautiful (who would think.in March yet!!). For the guests who arrived early there is a Hospitality Suite where h'orderves and drinks were offered (many of the guests thought it was the Cocktail Hour.they had no idea what was ahead). The Cocktail Hour was magnificent with every food you could possibly desire. There was a special Martini Bar with three martini's named after their pets.so cute and according to the guests.delicious. After the Cocktail Hour the guests made their way to the Reception area which was beautiful. There they were treated to a four course meal (with seven dinner choices) all made to perfection. At the end of the night the Viennese Hour had no rivals.just yummy!!! Loula is just wonderful to work with and will try her best to fulfill every wish the couple may have.she certainly succeeded for our event. The Maitre d's.Mohammad & Bradley worked with every vendor to make sure the day went smoothly. They also made sure anything the couple, their parents and bridal party needed were right at their fingertips. All the staff was fantastic and attentive to the guests and I thank them with all my heart. If you had to score from 1-10.10 wouldn't be good enough. If you are planning an event this is the location to book.you will NEVER regret it!!! Was this review helpful? February, 2012 What an experience!!! From the moment we walked into Sand Castle we were treated like celebrities. All our special requests were accommodated down to my gluten free restrictions. Our guests are still raving about the food and service. They even packed up the venetian hour for us to take home as a surprise at the end of the night. Our matreds and bridal assistants were amazing!!! They were by our side making sure we had something to eat or drink all night. I think we were the only bride & groom that actually enjoyed their own wedding. Our dance floor was packed all night thanks to Genesis events, they know how to get the party started. We couldn’t be happier!!! Sand Castle is the perfect venue!!! Vicky & John:) 1.7.12 Was this review helpful?

August, 2011 Never have I been to a wedding like this.Sunday 8/21/2011 Beautiful from beginning to end. The service, the food, the atmosphere was unbelievable. What a wonderful memory for the Bride and Groom to ponder as they plan their 25th. God Bless them. Was this review helpful? June, 2011 I have been to many weddings and thought I had seen the best of the best. Nothing could have top the experience I had at the Sand Castle attending a wedding. From the begining to the end nothing but professionalism. From parking of the cars to the host/hostess and waitress/waiters they were simply the best. If I didn't know better I would have thought they were hand picked one by one. Continue to great work and wish you many more weddings to come because it definitely worth what ever it cost.
