Kept passing this one by at Best Buy but noticed it for $5.99 so picked it up. A very good film with some great performances. It is interesting to see everything that Colin Farrell has done after that, before seeing his performance in Tigerland. I really like him as an actor and can't wait to see what he does next.

This dvd is a steal for $5.99.

It's also $5.88 at Wal-Mart for anyone looking. I've always heard good things about this one, but just haven't picked it up yet.

I have seen Tigerland at Circuit city for $7 or $8 and it's definitely worth a blind purchase if you like war films. It's a good DVD too, with a lot of extras (including a commentary track).
I have also seen The Thin Red Line for very cheap, but it's not a film for everyone. :)

I hadn't realized it was that cheap. I'll definitely pick this up for that bargain price. Thanks for the heads up!

A bump for this gem.

It's $6.99 at Circuit City.

It's a very good film--a gritty character piece that documents Schumacher's transformation from the darkness that was Batman and Robin, to more promising material like Phone Booth. Great 16mm cinematography, and powerful performances. It also takes the time to examine the psychological impact on the soldiers, similar to the best film of the 90s, The Thin Red Line (although, without voiceovers like TTRL).

Highly recommended.

Tigerland is arguably the best thing Colin Farrell has done to date. This film got him noticed and offered more roles, but IMHO nothing (including Phone Booth) he's done since shows his abilities like it.

Great flick! Also in the $5.88 bin at Wal-Mart if you search for it.

As Jeff said, apparently Colin Farrell peaked with this early film.
