In this case, the celluloid bringing of Robert O’Connor’s “Buffalo Soldiers”, the story of an American army fighting nothing but boredom in 1989 Germany during the collapse of the Berlin Wall.

 Hilarious and Harrowing Times in the Military; Gregor Jordan's "Buffalo Soldiers"
Leon Robinson, Joaquin Phoenix and Michael Peña in Gregor Jordan's "Buffalo Soldiers".
The official reason cited by Miramax for the delayed release of "Buffalo Soldiers" post-September 11 was "sensitivity to the current world situation"; the film's frontal assault on America's peacetime military would not have played well with citizens rallying round the flag and trying to come to terms with the horrific events.
In the pre-credits sequence he plummets from a great height to land, splat, on the opening title; the fall is reprised in a dive he takes off the high board for some canoodling in the pool with Robyn.

 Slant Magazine - DVD Review: Buffalo Soldiers
Director Gregor Jordan's commentary track is largely anecdotal and it's an excellent one.
He describes in expert detail how many of the scenes were conceived, and as such everything takes on a life of its own (he thought of the bomb metaphor while riding on an airplane and a friend gave him the idea for the flag on the ground the soldiers walk on).
Regardless of current events, director Gregor Jordan's shallow treatise on army hypocrisy can't shake the ghosts of M*A*S*H and Catch-22.

 SPLICEDwire | "Buffalo Soldiers" review (2003) Gregor Jordan, Joaquin Phoenix, Ed Harris
Director Gregor Jordan surrounds this con man with two-dimensional personalities that present him little challenge.
When the crooked clerk takes Top's teenage daughter (the preternaturally, naively seductive Anna Paquin) out on a date, the next morning he finds himself ordered onto a firing range where his ill-gotten Mercedes is being used for target practice.
But sometimes that same humor turns ugly (accidental deaths are played for malicious laughs), and the movie is ironically at its flattest when Jordan thinks he's at his sharpest and most clever.

The dialogue isn't terribly convincing or funny, but the set-ups and sequences are so outlandish, yet played so straight, you can't help but wonder where Jordan plans to eventually go once he catches his rhythm.
Jordan keeps placing the audience in similar situations that tend to make it extremely uncomfortable with itself and its own reactions.
Gregor Jordan, an Australian who first drew international attention with his Tarantino-flavored thriller Two Hands, perfectly captures the color scheme of late 80s Germany.

The narrative is built on the string of beads principle – a series of set pieces, some tragic, some romantic, some even comic.
Like the unnamed actor who played Ned in 1906, Heath Ledger is the right age and build for the historical figure, and carries himself with the kind of presence that could convince poor farmers to forego the reward rather than betray their hero.

 OFFOFFOFF film review BUFFALO SOLDIERS movie by Gregor Jordan with Joaquin Phoenix, Ed Harris, Scott Glenn, Anna ...
And that one is a very bad boy, being all that he can be by shamelessly corrupting the system and manipulating his superior officers in the darkly outrageous army satire "Buffalo Soldiers."
Somebody forgot to tell director Gregor Jordan and crew that we don't make military movies like "Buffalo Soldiers" anymore.
Today's war pictures — "Saving Private Ryan," "We Were Soldiers," "Black Hawk Down," to name a few — are unquestioningly patriotic, flush with heroism, brutally honest about the hell of war but never the least bit ambiguous about who are the good guys (us) and the bad guys (them).
