I enjoyed it. The story is pretty confused, and has a nonsensical conspiracy branch, but the combat authenticity as well as the Solider character depth impressed me. I imagine a Michael Mann fan would enjoy the ending. --[[User:Jackie.45Cal|Jackie.45Cal]] 16:45, 12 September 2011 (CDT) | I enjoyed it.

:I thought this movie was pretty bad, but the final shootout was decently filmed and enjoyable. But that faint praise aside, I did not think that this movie's final shootout was comparable to ''[[Heat]]'' at all, aside from the frequent use of dolly shots to convey movement and distance. The big shootout in ''[[Heat]]'' was unrealistic but at least believable, whereas the shootout in ''[[Veteran, The (2011)|The Veteran]]'' was both unrealistic and unbelievable ''[[Rambo]]''-type idiocy (one guy with one M4 and four 30-round mags takes on an entire street gang armed with automatic weapons?) | |||
:On a gun-related note, I'm pretty sure that I spotted a few more weapons in the final shootout that are not listed here. A few of the gangbangers had [[Beretta 92F]]s, and I think one had a revolver of some type (maybe a [[Colt Python]]). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 10:38, 12 November 2011 (CST) | |||

Nice Work
Is this film any good? I've watched the trailer but the comments said this film was rubbish; it read reviews on Amazon and the reviewers liked it, so I'm torn between preordering it on DVD or not bothering ;) --Taurus96 05:15, 20 August 2011 (CDT)

- I thought this movie was pretty bad, but the final shootout was decently filmed and enjoyable.

The big shootout in Heat was unrealistic but at least believable, whereas the shootout in The Veteran was both unrealistic and unbelievable Rambo-type idiocy (one guy with one M4 and four 30-round mags takes on an entire street gang armed with automatic weapons?)
