source: fingertipsfilm (WordPress)

Debut director Grant Heslov’s eccentric Coen-esque military comedy brings to mind a before and after shot of a botched breast implant – grimly intriguing, yet utterly horrible. Ewan McGregor plays journalist Bob Wilton who stumbles upon the story after meeting Special Forces soldier...
