Tom Sizemore, Josh Hartnett, Ewan McGregor, Eric Bana, Ewen Bremner, William Fichtner, Ron Eldard, Jason Isaacs, Ben Foster, Matthew Marsden, Orlando Bloom, Enrique Murciano, Gregory Sporleder, Brian Van Holt, Michael Roof, Sam Shepard, Jeremy Piven

i dunno, i've heard of josh hartnett and ewan mcgregor. i don't mind ewan, i thought he was good in moulin rouge. the rest are a bunch of new faces, so i don't know if they suck or not.

edit: and i think it's directed by the director of gladiator and hannibal

<< Cast Sux >>


I'll second that. The only bright spot on there for me is Sam Shepard

Read the book THEN watch the movie.

Tom Sizemore isn't a Hollywood newbie. This is his kind of movie -- remember Saving Private Ryan?

I have high hopes, but I suspect that I'll be disappointed. I wonder if they'll have the Air Force pararescue guys that helped rescue one of the helicopter crews. One of them, a recipient of the Air Force Cross (second only to Medal of Honor), just retired from active duty service.
