BUFFALO SOLDIERS (2001) - April 19, 2004 (S)
This is Gregor Jordan's first film after Two Hands. While it definitely isn't as good as that movie, it's still pretty good. Joaquin Phoenix is good (as usual) as a soldier who uses the army's resources to make money. Ed Harris is also good as a clueless but well-meaning colonel. I liked the ending, in which Joaquin is lauded as a hero and reassigned to Hawaii, where he gleefully resumes his illegal dealings. At times it sort of reminded me of Three Kings, and that's certainly a good thing. ***
