In some very loose way, Tigerland follows the format of Full Metal Jacket, being split between a big first chunk in training, at the eponymous Tigerland training centre (a U.S. Army training facility at Fort Polk, Lousiana), and a second lesser chunk, in combat in Vietnam.
Colin Farrell, as Pvt. Roland Bozz. On a Bus...

I don't remember any part of the film being as exciting as this image suggests.*
At the time of first writing this (ages ago now), I had only just watched it, very recently. And yet I could remember almost nothing about it. Other than it seemed to be a papiér-maché light edifice built of weakly acted thinly characterised clichés. I found it reasonably watchable - i.e. I got through it all - but totally unmoving and forgettable.
Not recommended!
* Actually, I don't remember anything about this film, other than it seemed like a waste of my time.
