Day Zero review and trailer
I recently reviewed a new indie film that is out, oh I don't know, in a couple of weeks in NYC and LA. The film, Day Zero, is about three high school friend who reunite in their 30s when they've been drafted for service in the US army. (The film is set an indefinite time in the future). It's kind of interesting take on the barrage of Iraq War films that have been coming out this year (almost all of which have been horribly received, and are probably about three years past their due date) It's an interesting film (though the human relationships in the film are far more interesting than it's politics). Despite any objections politically or artistically to the film, it is a new take on the subject and it does get you thinking about war in a fresh way (at least compared to the way Hollywood seems to want to engage the discussion). And despite the obvious connection of war it doesn't advertise itself as such, but it is certainly about the war in Iraq, the war they are forced to enlist in is fairly undefined throughout the film but you do know that one front is in Iraq, but the war has spread throughout the Middle East. (Oh, and surprisingly Chris Klein doesn't suck in it.) Anyhow I shouldn't continue on when I'd just be repeating myself. You can check out the review here
