Plot summary

Years after his squad was ambushed during the Gulf War, Major Ben Marco finds himself having terrible nightmares. He begins to doubt that his fellow squad-mate Sergeant Raymond Shaw, now a vice-presidential candidate, is the hero he remembers him being. As Marco's doubts deepen, Shaw's political power grows, and, when Marco finds a mysterious implant embedded in his back, the memory of what really happened begins to return.

A Big Remake

In the midst of the Gulf War, soldiers are kidnapped and brainwashed for sinister purposes.As with any remake, it is more or less impossible to live up to the original. Even here, with plenty of major stars, a bigger budget and an Oscar-winning director, it would be wrong to say this is better than the original. Maybe as good, though that is doubtful. Certainly not better.Updating the plot from Korea to Iraq makes sense and is a wise move. I am not as thrilled about the science fiction aspects. My memory (though it may be faulty) recalls the original being mostly brainwashing and triggers. It does not recall any actual removal of brains and wildly futuristic surgery. This, to me, takes away from the film, and especially because it is revealed so early on (within ten minutes).

Creepy and in a way most didn't realize or comment on

Spoiler

Raymond's mother was pretty much more than likely a pedophile. She was obviously in love with her son in a sexually attracted way which is obvious in their first scene together. Then it's confirmed when he recalls how she ran off a woman he was interested in and how she got emotional at the thought of him with another woman. And then the bathtub scene??? If she was bathing him like that as a grown man, imagine what she was doing as a child.
