Surprisingly fun film. It's pretty easy to see where Eastwood's Gran Torrino character came from when you watch this one. He's angry, grumpy and hilarious like in that film, but he still has the physical presence as well making it one awesome Eastwood character. The old vs. new as far as training goes is interesting and I enjoyed the whole film. The random singing and Van Peebles' character is pretty awful at times, and historically it's all over the place, but overall I'd say I enjoyed this drill instructing movie then even Full Metal Jacket (Only because the 2nd half of the film is a borefest)

B+

Yes, it's a good film. I will watch it again, though, as I've forgotten a lot of it.
