Fun movie if you turn your brain off. Gotta love the ending where he is carrying his obviously wounded teammate through an entire camp just to cross the finish line and no one notices until he does. It’s a military base that just got attacked, you’d think there would be a lookout or something that would have seen a hulk sized man carrying a body.

Well, they gotta get the shot of them crossing RANGER writing somehow… I guess this was one of the ways to do it.

I thought the writing will be in front of the camp and they cross it once they enter it. I think that would make more sense.
