I was pleasantly surprised... nay... shocked at how much I enjoyed this movie. The pace was good, commendable storyline (although some jokes were recycled from Army Daze). As expected of a local movie, the Hokkien vulgarities, jokes added a local shine which I appreciated. I guess the movie also appealed to me because of the reminiscing of my old army days.
Can't say I appreciated the directorial skills (slow motion-quick angle changes should be left to Bollywood movies), way-too-obvious product placements (Bee Cheng Hiang, KPMG, etc) nor the special effects of the opening, but it was still an enjoyable movie nonetheless.
I'm actually looking forward to the sequel!
6.5/10
