    It moves so confidently and brightly that it's ticklish as well as chilling - and, in its own dark way, enthralling.

    Tightly plotted and well-acted, the film litters its brisk run time with darkly funny and haunting setpieces.

    The brouhaha aside, this chronicle of SNAFUs foretold doesn't have much new to say but says it with biting precision, and Phoenix's sharp, sneakily sympathetic performance is a pleasure to watch.

    For all the controversy surrounding Buffalo Soldiers, you'd think the film would at least be interesting.

    People don't generally seem to like this movie because it's raw and straightforward - that's war for you...however it has has some overacting and unnecessary 'coolness' added. All things considered this was a really enjoyable experience and a movie that sticks to your mind.… Expand

    Dramatically, it doesn't work. On the comedy side of things, it was pretty freaking genius. A solid outing for Joaquin Phoenix.
