Colin Farrell’s breakout role in the Vietnam war movie Tigerland debuts on high-definition Blu-ray on May 24, from 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment.
Soon to reprise Arnold Schwarzenegger’s role as Doug Quaid in the remake of Total Recall, in Tigerland, the Irish actor played Private Roland Bozz, a Texan with a gift for getting in trouble. Ferrell’s Bozz is one of a group of platoon recruits who are in Ft. Polk, La., for infantry training in a swamp similar to the ones they’ll find in the Vietnam war. Although he has leadership qualities, Bozz isn’t liked, and as the group head into the Tigerland swamp, things get out of hand with Bozz planning to go Awol.
Matthew Davis (TV’s The Vampire Diaries), Clifton Collins Jr. (TV’s The Event), Shea Whigham (Machete) and Tom Guiry (TV’s The Black Donnellys) also star in the R-rated film.

Joel Schumacher followed up his oddball 1999 movie Flawless with an equally uncharacteristic disection of the Vietnam war. We take a look back at 2000's Tigerland…
"‘Well, the fellas say that if you don't wanna go to Nam, you better pray to Jesus or talk to Roland Bozz." - Soldier
The Recap
After failing to light up the box office with the more indie feeling Flawless, Joel Schumacher's next movie would hark back to the days of his work on Falling Down more than anything he made during the latter part of the 90s, looking at the darker side of life and how it affects the people in it.
In 1971 it had become clear to the majority of the American public that the Vietnam War, for all intents and purposes, had been lost. This, however, did not stop the Us government from enlisting more of its young men and training them to fight.
