|
|
1989. The Berlin Wall is about to fall, and the world is about to be made safe for the new world order. But outside of Stuttgart, West Germany, at Theodore Roosevelt Army Base, Specialist Ray Elwood of the 317th Supply Battalion (Joaquin Phoenix) is about to find his own cold war turn white hot. Elwood's a loveable rogue, a conscript who's managed to turn his military servitude into a blossoming network of black market deals, more out of boredom than ambition. Officially, there's his day job as battalion secretary to the inept but caring Commander Wallace Berman (Ed Harris). On the side, there's everything from selling the locals stolen Mop'N'Glo to cooking heroin for the base's ruthless head of Military Police, Sgt. Saad. When a new top sergeant (Scott Glenn) arrives, with the avowed intention of cleaning the base up, Elwood thinks the new blood is nothing he can't handle, especially after he lays eyes on the top's daughter, rebellious Robyn (Anna Paquin). But that was before he figured in the $5 million in stolen arms that just landed on his lap, Berman's jealous wife, an insane Turkish drug dealer, and, of course, the resulting lust, betrayal, and murder.

nice to read lola : )
to anyone interested, i read the buffalo soldiers book. it was nice to read after having seen the movie and picturing all the characters. it was the same but different...kinda hard to explain, but not a huge bunch of differences! so i recommend it to any buffalo soldiers fan--for the fact that elwood visits a "brothel" (for lack of a better term) as col. berman lol!!! |

Thank you Lola and Steph!  I will read the book so I can continue my love and fascination with Elwood. 
Steph, didn't you say that there is an interesting scene with Elwood in a shower? When I say interesting, I mean kinda gross.
