In September 1971, a platoon of recruits arrives in Ft. Polk, LA, for infantry training before leaving for war. The final week takes place in Tigerland, a swamp similar to Vietnam. Jim Paxton has enlisted; he wants to experience everything and write books later. He befriends Roland Bozz, a cool Texan with a gift for getting into trouble and for helping misfits get discharges. At least one sociopath in the platoon hates Bozz, even as the sergeants grudgingly recognize his leadership abilities. As the platoon heads into its week in Tigerland, Paxton's body gives out, Bozz makes plans to go AWOL, and the sociopath gets hold of live ammo. Is the Louisiana swamp more dangerous than the DMZ?
Leave your thoughts about Tigerland.
| New York Daily NewsJack MathewsA strong, gritty, powerful piece of film making, and one of the three or four best movies made about the Vietnam era. |
| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile CriticsOne of the most potent explorations of the military mind-set, irrespective of the war in question, that you'll ever see. See it. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonSchumacher strips down his story and style until he has nothing left but bare-bones storytelling. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerThe hype is justified -- Farrell's performance just screams star quality and has already drawn comparisons with Steve McQueen and Paul Newman. |
| Empire MagazineAdam SmithA beautifully crafted, brilliantly acted and gently moving film that only occasionally lapses into sentimentality. |
| BBC.comBen FalkDespite his usual ability to spend more time on set design than he does on actors, Schumacher handles the more intimate setting with great skill. |
| Apollo GuideKurt DahlkeA modest feature with simple aims, Tigerland hits the heart through great performances from a group of unknowns, thoughtful cinematography, and sustained emotional intensity. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenSchumacher lucks out with a largely unknown cast of awesome performers. |
| USA TodayMike ClarkWorth a look. It's easy to overrate -- but just as easy to undervalue. |
| Film Journal InternationalDaniel EaganTigerland still comes off as a serious, relatively honest story about the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War era |
