Still- a very solid effort. High marks from me.
Thanks, I appreciate that :)...I just wanted a director who I felt would love this movie and appreciate it...When you love something, it shows, and the movie would benefit from it...I felt that Carlson would not only love the movie, but also the chance to get back on track after coming back from the war...I think people would also respect that he served our country bravely...I really believe he'd put his heart into it, and I like giving the 'little guy' a chance...Who knows how this might have changed his life for the better?...Those other guys had already proven themselves.
