WITH YOUR HELP, WE CAN GET THIS MOVIE MADE! Thank you!
My high school foot ball coach was such a man, giving boys what they needed most, developing all of us into strong and confident men along the way. A lesson I've held onto my entire life through my military career and now through retirement. America needs these men of character now more than ever because what will happen to this great nation when the next war comes to our shores and there are none left.
As someone who served from 2013-2019 in the Marine Corps and now in the Army as an officer, I saw the complete deterioration of our youth. The marines I was in charge of were wimps. The soldiers are even worse. This nation is not ready for another war. We need to return masculinity to our schools or this country is living its last days.
I totally disagree with you, Gary.
@@harounlee208 You will be one of the first if war comes to our shores who will die.
@@joerivas9847 i don't give a fuck about dying several years before you. It changes nothing, what does represent +- 50 years when you compare your life to a geological time scale ?
"Based on a true story". So it has a colonel of truth in it.
I see what you did there
I laughed so hard at that.
Can't wait for the "bonding together cookout' scene. That's where he'll reveal his chicken recipe.
Take my like.
Lol
Way back in antiquity when I was in school, my PE teacher was a Kongo vet. At first we all hated him, but with the clarity of 20-20 hindsight I later realized what he was doing I love him for it. I am now a vet myself and I realize I have been passing along (worked as a teacher for a while) a lot of his teachings to the next generation.

Was He Irish?

@@MegaJohny56 Why did they wait until he works his way up to being a colonel to tell him he's unqualified?
@Lord Winter I wonder what was the reason for disqualifying him. They can't just let him go out the blue. There has to be a reason.
Kevin Durand is such a underrated actor.
Character actors are often underrated.
Seriously
Very true, I have yet to see him deliver a half ass performance.
Damn, I was just gonna write exactly the same sentence ... except for "an undurrated.."
@@rudedude1686 I wish you hadn't
Kevin Durand was born to play this part! He's an underestimated actor that hasn't gotten the roles to show his true talent yet,..hopefully everyone will see his potential now!
No he wernt.. so much better actors for this part
Very true, very great actor!
Yes
SO GLAD Kevin Durand is leading a quality picture. This man is an absolutely incredible actor. Not sure if he has a lousy agent or casting agents are clueless dullards- but he is an incredible talent and can act circles around many of the “stars” of today.
Probably because he doesn't play ball with hollywood elites.
@@buddybuythis3889 Exactly! And another part of the problem is he is based in Canada. Canadian actors, no matter how good they are, DO NOT get the same treatment in the U.S. Film industry as actors from Los Angeles or New York. It really sucks. Toronto has an amazing job market for actors, especially for TV, since so many shows film up there. But it also traps Canadian actors into a local market. It's tough for them to get into SAG, audition in Los Angeles, and break out in Los Angeles. It's not impossible, but not easy. Durand has been a quality actor for a LONG time, but like many great Canadian actors, has had trouble breaking out of the C and B lists.
I think these are all valid points. I think Kevin just works when he wants to work! Good Thunder Bay lad.
Maybe he's not a man who networks, but I think it's more because he's not the most stereotypically good looking guy around, he's not unattractive but he feels more like a normal good looking guy that you might meet in the street rather than the traditional Hollywood leading man.
SELL GOLD BUY PLATINUM PRICE IS LOW NOW.
My JUCO football coach was a Korean war veteran, Chosin Reservoir. 100% badass. 140 came out for the team, he ran drills to run off those "who didn't want to be there." When there were 70 left, that was the team. Hell, we could of had no QBs, or RBs, or WRs. It didn't matter. He won three NJCCA national championships.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 respect bro but I don't think that was a good strategy but if it worked fuck it
This was posted in 2016. Why am I only seeing it now? Love Kevin "Tree" Durant
Wow..hadn't noticed that. And yeah, why now :)
FACTS
I thought this was a new movie. Well damn
@@amadeokomnenus1414 Thanks YT algorithm
"Tree," good call!
I can't believe it. I played three years under the Colonel and they are making a movie about him. KDID
Share your thoughts as a kid in that situation? For or against? I think I know the answer..
Kevin is totally underrated as a character actor. He has an unusual look - not unhandsome - but he's not conventionally leading man material and I think that's why he may be overlooked. But I would put him against a Cruise or a Craig or a Pitt any day of the week (and I'm just listing off leading men, not necessarily good actors). He's done a couple of 'okay' (or maybe not so okay ) movies in 'Legion' and "Dark was the Night", but he made those roles so stand-out. Those movies are worth watching for him alone. In Legion, he's particularly engaging as Gabriel - tormented, dedicated. Now I have to go watch it again!
I really liked his role in 3:10 to Yuma. He IS underrated!
Funny. Horror is not my genre, but one of the reasons I just watched Legion was to see how they portrayed the ArchAngel Gabriel. I have to say I was very impressed. His initial appearance was breath taking. I've played it over and over.
R u trying to tell us that Oscar winner Brad Pitt is in the same league as Tom Cruise when acting. Like seriously??? Brad Pitt is an amazing actor, 10 times better than Cruise.
Totally agree 100%

I work in a factory. When I started, everyone talked about the Plant Manager.
How tough he was, how at any moment he would just appear, seemly from nowhere.
You better be doing something productive, after all we are paying you.
Day or night, weekends, or holidays when we were closed, he may just show up.
After all, there was a couple of guys there to watch the boilers, and fire alarms.
They were getting paid. Holiday pay, and maybe overtime. You were not going to just sit around. Many talked bad about how tough he was, but I always felt I knew where I
stood, and what they expected of us. He was fair, and in the end, he has a lot of respect from many. He was a Korean War Veteran, who worked his way to an Engineering Degree, after the war on the G.I.Bill. The Colonel kinda reminds me of the old
Plant Manager.
I've seen the dark side of this. I had an ex-military supervisor who was vague in his directives, poor at training, but quick to make it known if you fall short of his standards, which were also vague.
My first civilian job was in IT after completing college. My immediate supervisor was an older Korean War vet. We looked at each other like we could shoot in the blink of an eye. He often lectured to others at how I was always 5-10 mins early. I went "online" at a specific time, not pull into the parking lot. After about 4 months, he had to direct me to take a day off. I was given tremendous freedoms because I did not require any supervision. Our department accomplished many things. We were the only 2 in our department more interested in team work than being a standout.

We need a lot of Colonel like that now a day .
2016, how did i miss this one.
I needed someone like that when i was a kid, hell I could use someone like that right now.
You never really understand how things affected you as a child until you look back with adult eye's.
At that point your mistakes and misteps jump out at you.
I agree with you 100% about the adult eye's and past mistakes. If I could talk to myself in the past I would say don't stand up for what's right, shut your mouth, kiss more high valued backsides, and be fake.
It teaches about manhood and courage; it was cancelled.
Whenever a kid starts talking about who his father is cuz he doesn't wanna participate or cuz he thinks he's better than others, it's a problem.
That's the little
s#!t that going to jail some day. But will NEVER learn from his mistakes. BECAUSE his DADDY always gets him out of it. I seen kids like that all my life. They have money. But that's all they have.
@@78.BANDIT Sounds like you are talking about Gaetz there.
Is there a point in this trailer where a kid starts talking about who his father is?

This was a Short Film released in 2016 that not many people have seen so tell them about it. This should convince producers he's ready for a Feature Film Starring Role. I knew Kevin when he lived in Vancouver and we worked on Beggars & Choosers so it is such a pleasure to see him in a big Starring Role. In real life he is a positive, funny and caring gentleman who also works out very hard. I used to also see Kevin in the Dunbar gym as well which was also Kevin Sorbo's gym, but that is where the comparison ends. Kevin Durand is a guy who would give you the shirt off his back and he has a wonderful outlook on life. When he was young he learned Ballet but he did also play Hockey like a good Canadian boy. I hope to see him in more big roles like this.
Been loving his work since Lost.
@@davidthomas9190 Why did they wait until he works his way up to being a colonel to tell him he's unqualified?
Where can I view this movie.. there is no record of it
@@charlesbukowski9836 I don't know I tried to find it as well. Let me ask Kevin. I haven't talked to him in ages but should be able to find him. Last I heard he was in LA but he could be back in Canada. I haven't seen any other Actors since Covid began!
@@steveoatway7001 Did you ever find out?? I'd still like to see this ;)
As a retired Colonel, I approve this movie!
Colonel Gio, did you see that weak "about face" at the beginning of the video? (I guess he was physically unable to be a Marine after all) Also, I doubt the LtCol had patent leather shoes and modern style Alpha Service Uniforms in 1968
🗣As a Staff Sgt. of Marines, I approve your APPROVAL Sir.
S/F 🇺🇸 (Did you notice his ABOUT FACE was incorrect ?)
🗣Kind of reminds you of the movie 🎥 MAJOR PAINE doesn’t it ? S/F🇺🇸
@@tonywoconish6695 i was thinking that was the way the Marines did an about face. I am retired Air Force, or as it is called now, the Chair Force
@@LyonhartZ2 was thinking the same thing bout the uniform. Might as well show him in diggies firing a 777 Howitzer and not the 155. You can tell I was an 0811 huh lol
I’ve always admired Durand’s acting! Hopefully this will be a standout role for him. He truly deserves it!!
Kevin Dunn now that's what I call a proper man's man actor keep on trucking brother man keep on tracking
We need this movie more than ever.
Where have all the good men gone?
OK. I am MOST DEFINITELY seeing this movie. We desperately need this kind of message in America today.
Goodness, yes. There is no longer discipline, nor morals in this country. On top of it all, they've kicked The Lord out the front door, and NOW people are finally seeing what happens when evil wins....for now.
@@DarthTwilight pleade do not breed.
I always respect the journeyman actors grinding away for years with all the big names.
The guy built himself a solid career.
I was never in the military but my father was ex-marine vet that taught hand to hand and my scout leader was an ex- drill instructor in the army and I credit these men and others who trained me when I was young to deal with life-Thanks
Looking forward to seeing this movie coming out in 5 years ago.
I had the opportunity to meet Kevin Durand at a children's book reading in a public library. True story.
My son was running around being a jack ass toddler, and ended up taking a tumble off the amphitheater steps. KD rushed over and helped him up, and joked about his adventurous spirit.
We chatted for a bit, along with his wife, and I told him how much I loved him in Lost and other movies/shows.
Super sweet guy. Really engaging when you talk to him.
Also he's built like he could play forward in the NBA.
Great story
🤣 toddler being a jackass 😆
Hahahahahah man….That is a wonderfully crafted story.
@@jamesgoines7663 Why did they wait until he works his way up to being a colonel to tell him he's unqualified?
I went to high school with Kevin Durand many years ago, we were not real close like best friends but friends. He always loved the drama class and was always smiling and friendly to every one. He was pretty tall back then as well. I also remember in the high school year book a question who would likely be the most successful? and the answer from most was Kevin Durand would be. Been following Kevin"s career and so happy he has achieved so much and happy for him. Any way he may not remember who I am but I was one of the first kids at the high school that loved rap and wore the silk track suits with the ball cap on backwards. I was also one of the biggest and muscular kids in school as well I was known for my paintings and drawings. One of my drawings is in that High school year book of our high school with graffiti and garbage on the ground. Hope things are well with you Kevin. =)
@@asdfqwertyism1 dude..are you okay? Don’t forget to take your medicine.
IT is said that Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton, and an empire later forged on the rugby fields of Britain. Pressure creates diamonds from worthless coal, while the finest steel is produced from the forging and tempering of iron. And so it is with humans. As my Drill Instructor constantly said: "I have 12 weeks to correct 18 years of neglect." Good and true lessons that have stood me well over the years.
Kevin was awesome in Legion. His 10 minutes in the movie was almost perfection.
I'm really happy to see Kevin Durand in a leading role... he deserves it
Gee, the entire WORLD of today needs a leader like this Colonel, to stop the wokeness that is being pushed down this generations throats. Men need to be real men!!
A real man has three rules: Do what you say you are going to do. Stand your ground. Keep an open heart.I think that you do none of those things
Bahahaha! Real men!??? Hilarious!
Word
Too bad our country no longer wishes it's boys to learn to become strong men. Too bad men aren't allowed to teach like this. What is lacking is discipline in our youth and strong parents who want to be parents. I'm sick and tired of this hatred and war against men. It's time we stood up and enough is enough. By not doing these things we only serve to weaken our nation.
I grew up with a 2nd LT as a Dad, life was like the Military. He is passed on sadly, but I am forever grateful for him teaching me to be a Man!
This looks outstanding. I admit i don't watch movies very often these days because Hollywood has forgotten what true men of character and integrity are.
Please let this be a movie that restores my faith that we as a nation haven't forgotten what true values are.
This film should be re-release in theaters!
He should have been nominated.
When I think of Kevin Durand I think of Smokin' Aces. The whole movie was freakin' crazy and Kevin hit that nail on the head!😜
We could use more coaches/mentors/teachers like this in today's society.
Todays society would not tolerate it. Look at the grief he was getting in 1969.. Sad.
They'd hide behind a karen or in their safespace. Never going to happen.
There was a lot more abuse by mentors back in the day and it was covered up.
No, because then we would loose a lot of qualified, intelligent students to brutalism. Not everyone _is_ capable of enduring the shown training without mental consequences. Not everyone "has to be broken physically" to become "a grown man" (gender in the context of this film).
@@ovaskerri
This isn't about abuse. This is about raising strong boys so they can become strong men. Strong men are an essential role of our existence. Weak boys turn into weak men. Weak men create hard times. Mankind has proven that repeatedly throughout history as an irrefutable fact, and we somehow just keep circling back to it over and over.
Every high school needs this type of Colonel.
OOORAH!
The absence of such great men of high discipline in the lives of our young boys today is what gave rise to the overwhelming increase of weaklings amongst our youths today. Tough love have gone extinct unfortunately.
He does not get enough praise for his acting rolls he has always stood out😁👍
How appropriate for the times. If we went to war every mother will wish their sons and daughters had a Col like this as a teacher.
I really like this actor. Great screen presence.
He is an awesome actor should be a great movie.
We need more Kevin Durand movies. He stole the show in The Strain
I already like this. Now if only the message of this story could be planted into some heads.
great actor, finally deserve a great leading role and perhaps Oscar Great Actor award for next year!
Mr Durand,
Such an under rated actor.
On the watch list.
Another movie that recaptures our true culture. Things may be looking up in Hollyweird.
"our true culture"
Hokay....
This was 5 years ago. Doubt this would ever see the light of day if someone tried to make it today. SJW, WOKE and overly sensitive wussies would try to have it canceled.
@@harryh5620 Worry not you are surrounded by people who serve more than themselves.
Blessed be the algorithm that brought us all here
I love Kevin Durand. He is excellent.
For some reason, for a while whenever I used to see this actor, I only thought back to the part he played in the movie; Walking Tall with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. He played a backwoods, hillbilly thug named Booth. But, I must admit over time, the body of work I have seen him do since by this fine Canadian actor, he has shown a very good range of acting ability. Not to mention, he’s an avid, die-hard Montreal Canadiens fan. So, I admire him even more. I look forward to seeing this movie.
My late Vice School Principle was A Marine Colonel too.
He was among the best teacher for us.
At that time we feel fear and discipline.
Nowadays, we miss him and his method in teaching us.
RIP Colonel (Mar) Abdul Karim Usman
(An alumni of Taruna Nusantara High School, Magelang, Indonesia)
Never even heard of this movie. Our youths and young adults (I’m one of them) could use this movie right now. We’ve all become soft and doughy.
And whiny little shits, you know something is wrong when our colleges houses a herd of little Malfoys.
WE? You...
Loved working with Kevin in the past
I would LOVE to see this become a full length feature film! Please :)
How th' #$%& did I not know about this movie?!? Kevin Durand kicks ass. I had a PE teacher/coach like this character. He was a hardass that caught flack from other PE teachers & coaches with comments like "They're kids, not soldiers," and "This is high school, not military school." One day after hearing one of those slurs half our class went over to that other teacher and told him we love how our teacher pushes us and to mind his own damn business. I ended up with six-pack abs because of him. _"Pain is weakness leaving the body!"_
So happy to see this actor make a lead roll perfect for the job
Kevin is an awesome underrated actor
Great actor finally given a proper chance to shine
Thats pretty much my high school experience . Hated the slog at the time but appreciate it everyday since I left.
Ad definitum finem
All the best people fall, but only the great stand up again and again to never give in. Thank you.
Nice to see Durand get a starring roll.
This guy is better in the Legion Movie as Angel Gabriel👏
Made me think of Jr. High. Thanks Coach Garcia wherever you are... You showed us that Lambs can become Lions (and vice versa 🙂)
I love it already! and they picked a great actor too.
My dad was a colonel in the army…and he ran the household like his barracks.
You will one day thank him for this.
First time i saw him was in "Walking tall" as a bad guy with the Rock Duane Johnson. He played a bad guy really well. Based on his body of work he can play a lot of roles.
This looks like Dead Poets Society meets Major Pain
This reminds me a little of my PE teacher at school (well over 50 years ago) sending us out on cross country runs with all of us wearing only canvas shoes (no socks) and cotton shorts (no top) in the snow and not just once but pretty much every time it snowed. It certainly amused him and we all survived so I suppose we learned something.
This looks interesting. Since I have a son going into Middle School, I am hopeful that a movie like this delves into the difficulty of this age...& how contrasting characters can work together for the good of our youth
Looks like this film came out in 2016 as a Short film of 21min long, won several awards back then; but I never saw it... going to have to find it and watch. Love Kevin Durand, he stands out in everything he works on and I'd love to see him as leading man in a full length film.
It's some movie American kids need ! Discipline and courage !
Thank you for showing the WHOLE movie
The resemblance to Christopher Walken is uncanny. Face, personality, voice, and mannerisms all reminded me of Christopher Walken.
glad to see kevin durand getting a starring role
True, alot of parents don't want the schools pushing their precious little perfect kids too hard, in sports or academics! Been their seen it countless times. Semper Fi!
A film about a man teaching young boys values and masculinity, can't believe this one got passed the decision makers today
Wow this is the kind of movie that I am long waiting for. Kevin Durand is right for the role.
My childhood friend went to school with Kevin in Thunder Bay and even then he stood out among everybody. I liked him in mystery Alaska and wild hogs I think he’s fine Canadian actor I only live 5 hours from Thunder Bay where he’s from.
OK so a 2016 well made and thoughtful movie about a strong male lead teaching discipline, sacrifice , courage and commitment to young boys so they turn into strong capable men gets buried at the cinemas never to be seen again.....
colour me shocked
Yeah, why can't I find this movie online to watch?
Looks good. Finally Kevin Durand in a starring role.
How the hell have I missed this????? I will literally watch Kevin Durand in anything. I wouldn't be the slightest bit miffed if he was in every production henceforth.
I was in the junior school of naval cadets. We had an instructor, a former Airborn sergeant. Get the f*** up! Run f*** fast! on the ground and began to do f*** push-ups! At the same time, he ran faster than all of us 18-olds boys. With a cigarette in his mouth!!!! We called him Major Payne. Remember? That choo-choo train story)))
I think this is a movie every young american should see .we need this one right now.
Hold up....this JUST came up in my feed....and this came out YEARS AGO? I guess the Algorithm knows what We need today huh....
Kevin looks like he's made out of flint, this is perfect.
He is underrated terribly, and this looks good
He should play Coach Buzzcut in a live action version of Beavis and Butt-Head
Hmmm🤔🤔🤔👍😁
For a second I thought this was a movie about KFC and Kevin Durant the basketball player.
The Colonel was in the 6-season TV series LOST. He played a tough former Marine Sargeant Major mercinary who got on the bad side.
This movie got a Mighty Ducks feeling to it, never heard of it until i saw this trailer.
About time Kevin Durand gets the main role!
We need to clone this guy and put him in all our school's.
Is this movie out yet!???? Gotta see this.
This video was made/posted in 2016.... all the comments are from the last 72hrs.... seems Hollywood and youtube didnt want this video to be known of for four+ yrs
Yep, exactly what I said!
In a generation full of wimps and cry babies, we need more people like this to tell people as it is and not sugarcoat what it isn't. Man, I need to see this for myself.
Looks a great film and a must watch. Just like the school I went to in Scotland and in the same period.
"The ones who need football the most are, at first, the least inclined to play it"
Bingo! School coaches too often treat their team and kids as if it is college/professional level, where their job is dictated by success, they take the easiest route. All it teaches is to become complacent and take that easy route, until one day football won't exist because we are forced to focus on the consequences of the responsibilities we let get away from us.
Tha Hell?
Was this movie one of those "Direct to Video" deals? Because this is literally the first time I've ever heard of it.
Ok, I somehow missed this movie. Time to dig it up
The man just trying to teach these young boys how to be men!
5 years ago????? Why haven't I heard of, or watched this movie???? HOOAH!!!
