Ne-Yo spoke with the Associated Press about his film debut and the amount of physical training he underwent to play the role of a military man.

“It was some of the most difficult stuff I’ve ever been through in my life,” Ne-Yo, who did his own stunts in the film, says. “They put us through boot camp with real live marines to make sure we actually looked and acted the part.”
