It's nothing like the first half of Full Metal Jacket, but an intriguing companion watch.

I wouldn't put Tigerland in the top ranks of war movies, but it's a solid second-tier entry that makes you think about the characters.

| Original Score: 7/10 | May 4, 2012

Farrell is the best thing about the film, which veers into oversentimentality quite a bit for a film that's shot with such a gritty aesthetic.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 27, 2011

This take on Vietnam War doesn't break new thematic ground but it's Schumacher's best film since the 1993 Falling Down, and it showcases the talents of newcomer Colin Farrell, who has everything that it takes to become a major Hollywood star

Full Review | Original Score: B+ | Jan 4, 2007

Stylistically this is more interesting and more affected than Schumacher's Flawless. Either way, it's a big improvement on his past tendentious nonsense.

Ever since Three Kings redefined just how great a war movie can be, movies like Tigerland have become unforgivable.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 6, 2005

A talented newcomer with genuine presence, Farrell is able to suggest some complexity in a character that is written without any.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 12, 2004

...never quite catches fire or becomes the searing expose that director Schumacher intended.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 1, 2003

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 25, 2003

Farrell holds the film together as the one element that sets this a notch above the average military drama.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 20, 2003

At best, Tigerland is not much more than a low-rated, cable-channel movie-of-the-week that should be channel-surfed right on by.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 8, 2002

Tigerland will only reinforce one of the biggest complaints regarding Schumacher's work: that it's all about the look, not the material.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 8, 2002

The hype is justified -- Farrell's performance just screams star quality and has already drawn comparisons with Steve McQueen and Paul Newman.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 30, 2002

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 15, 2002

A worthy addition to the Vietnam War film genre.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 5, 2002

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 5, 2002

One of the most potent explorations of the military mind-set, irrespective of the war in question, that you'll ever see. See it.

The movie moves along as if it were on a forced march to Hanoi.

| Original Score: C- | Oct 12, 2001

Moments of beauty jostle bathetic scene-rigging, poignant historical verisimilitude crumples under anachronistic assonance, and skin-tingling acting runs up against wooden caricature.
