    If I remember correctly, Sarge (no idea wtf his name is) had a vendetta and the folks not in his direct circle of troops were hesitant to allow his pursuit of Jake.

    Don’t mistake this as some defense of perfect writing, it wasn’t my favorite or anything, but I do think that was talked about.

      But iirc the general also sent soldiers after Sarge (I also don’t remember his name) to kill Jake, it was not just the vendetta guy

        Yeah, like once Sarge convinced them they were on board but I could’ve sworn there was at least hesitancy. His argument was something like Jake is a symbol? Idk.

      Yeah you don’t remember his name. Action and horror movies depend almost solely on the strength of the villain. So when no one can remember even the name of the villain what does it say about the movie?

        I don’t remember characters’ names from movies I love either though. I’m very bad with people’s names as well.

            Of course I do, I’m just saying it’s very common for me to forget. I loved Scream but I can only remember Tatum. Matthew Lillard I kept calling Shaggy. I recently saw Insidious again and I remember like, Elaine? And that’s it. My memory of characters’ names doesn’t seem to correlate very strongly with the quality of the movie.
