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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.
March 20, 2003
Farrell holds the film together as the one element that sets this a notch above the average military drama.

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
January 12, 2004
A talented newcomer with genuine presence, Farrell is able to suggest some complexity in a character that is written without any.
