The Four Horsemen (Video 2008)

The Four Horsemen: Directed by Sidney J. Furie. With Mark O’Brien, Curtis Morgan, Nick Abraham, Natalie Roy. Four high school football stars enlist in the Marines to serve their country in Iraq. Unfortunately, they don’t all return home. The ones that do survive face guilt, problems assimilating back into every day life, and a society that doesn’t seem to support them. They face the pressure and the temptation to rejoin their fellow Marines on the battlefield as they struggle to blend into civilian life. This is a story about American heroes, their courage, their pain, their humanity.

“This movie contains some of the worst acting and clichés that I have ever seen. Add to that the fact that the acting is so bad it makes the otherwise reasonable storyline unbelievable. Iu0026#39;m a Marine combat veteran, and take it from me, even the combat scenes are ridiculously unreal; they have more in common with a bunch of children playing war in the backyard. What makes it even worse is the fact that an actual Marine combat veteran is an actor in the movie. Also, around the 67 minute mark, what is with the close shots being HD and the far shots being fuzzy? Oh, and one more thing. Take a good long look at the face of Natalie Roy, who plays Cathy. She is really Mark Whalberg.”
