Movie Reviews of Buffalo Soldiers
Movie Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
A film with Joaquin Phoenix and Ed Harris from 2001...yet the majority of the population hasn't heard of it? And there are only 8 reviews on this page? That illustrates more than anything how the powers that be can suppress free speech after events like 9/11. Its a shame too, because its not just a matter of principle - this is a great film. Humorous yet disturbing, just as a black comedy should be, it is inventive and bleeds cult cool. Phoenix and Harris both do a very fine job indeed and an engaging and ironically funny picture is built up. I'm sure if this was well known there would be hundreds of disgruntled reviews from army types and people accusing the film of being unpatriotic, but it is (apologies for the cliche) an eye-opener, even if it is mostly fiction. Highly reccomended.Movie Review: An army of fun
Summary: 5 Stars
That is to say, darkly comic fun. Buffalo Soldiers is an account of how things go wrong when lonely, bored soldiers overseas have too much time on their hands. Joaquin Phoenix is great as Elwood, the specialist who's scamming left and right while his inept commanding officer played by Ed Harris is completely oblivious to the outrageous events taking place on his watch. I'd have to agree with one reviewer in that Scott Glenn is a scene-stealer in his portrayal of a sadistic sergeant out to bust Elwood. The movie may not sit well with some in today's political climate, but it is a must-own for fans of twisted comedy.Movie Review: Soldiering on.
Summary: 5 Stars
It is always the indie flicks that end up in your DVD collection because, goddamn, for once we have an interesting film. With the advent of 9/11 this film did have to wait, but with the current animosity towards ol' Dubya Bush, this film couldn't be more pertinent. What we have to remember is the hidden talent of Joaquin Phoenix, he has many a film under his belt, [Return to Paradise, Signs, Parenthood] and this is another career milestone. Watch this movie and ENJOY, you wont find another like it. It also helps if you've had family in the forces during the eighties. Faulklands...what a waste of time.Movie Review: HIGHlarious!
Summary: 5 Stars
Damn this movie is funny. I watched it very drunk last night on a movie channel at a buddies house. The part where the three guys drive that tank all doped up is HIGHlarious! You should buy the movie just for that. For some reason this movie kinda reminds me of Fightclub with some of the camera stuff (or I'm just making this up cause I was really drunk last night....). But anyways, it's a hilarious movie with some good plot. Buy it....Movie Review: classic stuff

Buffalo soldiers shoulda been in theaters but bob and harvey weinstein screwed the pooch again and sent it direct to dvd. They wussied out because of the war just starting,and didnt want to hurt the cash flow.But now the same two guys proudly bring you fahrenheit 9/11.The only people who might be offended by this great movie are the ones who think stuff like that would Never happen.DONT MISS THIS EXCELLENT GEM.
