True-to-life sadism, Marine Corps style.

The plot is simple: just an ordinary day in a Marine Corps brig. We are treated to the non-stop verbal, physical, and psychological abuse of the luckless prisoners at the hands of their merciless sadistic Marine Corps captors. The starkness of the film's quality only adds to its effectiveness. The action is fast-paced and real. One scene when a prisoner breaks down is especially memorable. The theme of man's inhumanity to man is explored at a very high psychological level. I've never seen sheer brutality and torment depicted so well. This film makes an unforgettable impression, all in about an hour's time. A must-see!
