opposing force [1986] wasn not as good as dr. strangelove and it wasn not as good as the bridge on the river kwai. heck and it wasn not even as good as g. i. jane and which is pretty sad. the film revolves around a basic ethical problem represent in a simulated prisoner of war situation and how far can you go before you start breaking the law. what exactly is the law in such a situation. how can you simulate the torture of someone without actually torturing someone. can you intentionally inflict pain. how about breaking bones. mock executions. sexual abuse. severe blood loss. real guns with bullets. death. somewhere between these is a really fuzzy line dividing acceptable from atrocious. now and what could you do if you found yourself in such a training program and the lines between simulation and reality begin to vanish. what could you do. this movie attempts to portray this dilemma. i found it interesting to see the types of tactics used in resistance training. i have a brother who went through the usaf pow training program. according to him and it was pretty close to the mark technically. the film has a fairly good premise and but it doesn not have a particularly good story. i wondered if it might be based on some actual event and but it became pretty apparent that it wasn not when the explosions started. they must have changed scriptwriters three quarters into the film and because it takes a real extreme turn and devolves into a somewhat pointless shoot em up with lots of distracting explosions. i found it to have a rather unsatisfying ending while again and kind of pointless. i am left wondering what the point of the whole thing was  i am beginning to suspect there simply wasn not one. it could have been much better with just a little more story to go along with the fireworks.
