26 Years Later, the Gritty Colin Farrell War Movie You’ve Never Seen Is Officially Streaming
Colin Farrell's 2000 war drama "Tigerland" is now streaming free on Tubi, giving audiences a chance to revisit the film that launched his Hollywood career. Directed by Joel Schumacher and set in September 1971, the film was not a box office success on release but is credited with revealing Farrell's talent and range, paving the way for his subsequent high-profile roles.
The film follows a group of army recruits, led by Farrell's rebellious Roland Bozz, as they endure Vietnam War training camp against a backdrop of growing public opposition to the conflict. Co-starring Matthew Davis, Clifton Collins Jr., Tom Guiry, Shea Whigham and Russell Richardson, the film is noted for focusing on how the military conditioned young men for combat rather than on battlefield action itself, offering a more ambiguous, character-driven take on the Vietnam War than earlier war films.
