R Point
This movie ambles along a little too slowly most of the way through, so I ended up pausing and continuing it later a couple times before finishing. A lot of the members of the platoon (more accurately a squad by the number) irked me for flipping out so easily and so soon. I liked the reserved and calculating Lieutenant though. The premise of ghosts getting "innocent" people to kill themselves is a good one, but I must admit, it would have been more satisfying for me if it were evil people, not "green" soldiers just wanting to get back home ASAP, that were lured into off'ing each other.
There's some irony to the fact that the warning engraved on the stone toward the beginning says "those with blood on their hands shall not return" yet it was the ghosts that tricked most of the soldiers to get their "first blood" on their hands in the first place.
