Tigerland

Tigerland is set in 1971, as the United States remains divided over the war in Vietnam. At Fort Polk, Louisiana, a group of Army recruits goes through Advanced Infantry Training at a facility nicknamed Tigerland, the last stop before shipping out. Among them is Roland Bozz, a Texan draftee who rejects the idea of the war and clashes with military discipline. He befriends Jim Paxton, a volunteer who wants to become a writer, and draws the hostility of Wilson, a fellow recruit whose behavior alarms those around him. The men of the company face the same orders and the same destination, but each responds to what awaits them differently.

Joel Schumacher directed the film, the thirteenth of the twenty-one features listed from him in chronological order, between Flawless (1999) and Bad Company (2002). The screenplay is by Ross Klavan and Michael McGruther, and the cast includes Colin Farrell as Bozz, Matthew Davis as Paxton, Clifton Collins Jr., Tom Guiry, Shea Whigham and James MacDonald, with fifty credited roles in all. Made for about 10 million dollars, it received a critics' rating of 7.1/10 from 46 reviews, while audiences give it 6.9/10 on IMDb and 6.6/10 on TMDB.
