Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Tigerland is a 2000 movie directed by Joel Schumacher and starring Colin Farrell and Matthew Davis.Set in 1971, the film tells the story of a unit in their last stages of training before they're due to be sent to Vietnam. Jim Paxton, a Naïve Newcomer and one of the few volunteers in his unit, crosses paths with and is eventually taken under the wing of Private Roland Bozz (Colin Farrell). Bozz is determined to not be sent to the war and does everything he can to cause trouble while also helping several other soldiers to escape the war by finding various loopholes in the army's regulations. Naturally, this earns him quite a few enemies - both among the volunteers in his company and among his superiors.The movie, while not widely-known and only gaining a limited theatrical release, is often considered to be one of Schumacher's best directorial efforts as well as being credited with being Colin Farrell's breakout performance.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Achievements in Ignorance: Subverted. Bozz and Cantwell (a young and fairly slow-witted soldier) try to convince their superiors that this applies to Cantwell's knowledge of army regulations. They don't buy it for a moment.

Abusive Parents: It's unclear whether the abuse ever got physical, but from the little we learn of Miter's relationship with his father, verbal and emotional abuse were par for the course.

Accidental Hero: Played with. Bozz continuously denies that he's this, even when soldiers desperate to go home clearly do, and his first attempt at getting a fellow soldier discharged does seem to be an accident...but then it's revealed he's done the same thing several times before and is a natural leader.
