Buffalo Soldiers

Weird little movie, which I think got buried on its release because of the timing (it’s about army dudes fucking up and being corrupt, which in 2001 was maybe not what studios wanted to emphasize on their slate, even though it’s set in ’89). Parts of it seem kind of cliched, but then something you don’t expect will happen…I can’t describe it, but the performances are really good. I’m a little surprised the guy who plays Sergeant Saad isn’t more famous; he’s got charisma like crazy. (1/16/06)
