Trailer here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmEuGECjMls) for Uwe Boll's Tunnel Rats, a non-video game based Vietnam war film.
While it looks like the best film he's done in terms of technical quality and acting, it still looks atrocious and pretty damn offensive. The final shot of the soldier getting the spear/sword/metal rod thing through his neck was executed in the way you'd do a kill in a slasher movie. Seems to be trying to instill a "wow, that's a sweet, gory kill!" feeling into a war film...which is tasteless and wrong, since I can't imagine Boll doing this as a "commentary film".
