He has been left in the middle of nowhere in the frozen wastes of the arctic. No one comes except a huge swarm of mosquitoes. As he awakens later in an Army hospital that doesn't officially exist, Rudy understands what it is to be on the sharp end of a 'small clerical error.' "You'll want to scratch," a nurse tells him helpfully when he comes round. Rudy enlisted in order to escape a little prison time for burglary. His fellow soldiers are a rag-tag bunch of misfits. There's Lavone, a wannabe beat-poet, the sadistic Sergeant Genteen, and Petri, the base dealer who thinks sci-fi movies are the pinnacle of art. And there's the base's commanding officer, Colonel Woolwrap, who sees in Rudy a younger version of himself. Only problem is, Rudy isn't too comfortable under his, or anyone's, tutelage. But then Rudy meets Sergeant Irene Teale - beautiful, intelligent, and most importantly, sane. Unfortunately, she's the Colonel's girlfriend. As Rudy pursues Irene, he uncovers the secret of The Wing: a hospice for American casualties from a reckless mission in the Vietnam war. Woolwrap has been sitting in Qangattarsa waiting for the last of the men to pass away. Meanwhile, the 'patients' remain unconscious, vegetative, erased as the men they once were... Except for Guy X. --© Official Site [More]

Succeeds in creating a languid, almost hypnotic portrait of go-nowhere, do-nothing peacetime military life.

"Guy X" wins the prize for most boring, pointless and disappointing war movie of the year.

A movie that doesn't know whether it is slapstick comedy, satire, mystery or a schlock horror flick. Whatever it is, it is highly derivative, and of little consequence.

Guy X could be the weirdest failure of the year. It's also not for anyone prone to soft-tissue neck injury, so abruptly does it switch gears from one movie to another.

Brilliantly told and will remain with you as you leave the theatre.

Jason Biggs (doomed to have some variation of the words 'pie-botherer' in every article ever written about him thanks to the American Pie movies) makes a successful leap from comedy to drama here.

A film which lingers and haunts, but never compels.

While there's an enjoyable subversive atmosphere, the story simply isn't sharp enough to mean much of anything

A political black comedy without the bite of the classic military satires it tries to emulate.
