Twitter Capsule: Like Nightcrawler, a lurid revel but also a laudably unblinking study of unsavory types. Overproduced, uneven, but not empty.

VOR:   Originality is precisely where film feels deficient, even when making a technical case for itself. Half-musters a sour take on American soldiers, but compensates rapidly with boilerplate sentiment.
