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.

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

Even when the script overtaxes the allegory about how Vietnam divided a nation at home, Schumacher and the actors prevail by fixing their sights on what happens to men on that last stop before the game of war becomes a grim reality.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 4, 2001

A beautifully crafted, brilliantly acted and gently moving film that only occasionally lapses into sentimentality.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 18, 2001

Despite his usual ability to spend more time on set design than he does on actors, Schumacher handles the more intimate setting with great skill.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 7, 2001

For those who don't mind being challenged, however, and are curious to see why Farrell is being touted as the next big thing, Tigerland has its rewards.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 26, 2001

Tigerland lands squarely in the top tier of best movies about America's Vietnam experience.

Full Review | Feb 19, 2001

Tigerland is tightly constructed and culminates with a stunningly appropriate charge of ambiguity.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 7, 2001

One of its writers, Ross Klavan, based the screenplay on his own experience, and it's his approach that makes the film worth talking about.

Beneath the rough vrit exterior beats the same slick, corny heart that has pumped blood (and money) through Mr. Schumacher's Batman and John Grisham pictures.

An affecting, old fashioned, antiwar war story.
