This movie is pathetic. Not only the fact that one of the soldiers begins to rape an old lady grossed me out, also the whole story about the army of mentally/physically challenged children. And when I say it grosses me out, I am definitely not meaning the actual look of her body or the way the children are presented, no I am really worried about the idea that is behind all that. What's the statement? I couldn't find one, so i guess this movie is all about entertaining the audience. I can't see anyone being actually entertained by whatever is happening in this movie. If anyone is reading this and feeling the way I am i would appreciate it if you let me/us know. I am aware of the way some anti war movies work, and the way producers confront their audience with human behavior. But "Straight Into Darkness" certainly does not deal with a topic like war crimes in a proper way, so it really shouldn't deal with it at all. If you decide to watch this movie, be prepared to wonder what the **** is wrong with Jeff Burr.
