As an aside, it is noteworthy and actually genuinely admirable the gender neutrality/equality of the film in terms of the portrayal of the characters within the film. Again, though, this is a success going by the premise of the existence of the film. As a pro-military piece it eschews nearly all sensitivity and can be gruesome and disturbing in the thoughtless violence. It was reasonably enjoyable but its limits as a film are directly proportional to its success in what it aims to do. However, although that makes the film clever, it does not mean I overly enjoy or connect to sitting through such propaganda pieces. On this level of old-style, unsubtle propaganda, I suppose it is successful. Likely with the intent of recruiting new troopers. A military, Nazi-esque propaganda film, as if from within the deranged universe that the film takes place in.
