Exhausting And One Of The Best War Movies I Have Ever Seen! (Possibly The 2nd Best)

Rating: 10/10 (15 January 2005)

Exhausting (In a good way) and one of the best War Movies i have ever seen (possibly the 2nd best.). It's emotionally exhausting a lot of the time, Awe inspiring battle sequences, with great characters, and some good character development. It's a very powerful movie and not one soon you will forget anytime soon after you have watched it. People with weak stomach's BEWARE! this is not for the faint of heart so if your afraid of it stay away!. It's a very intense movie and it never stops, and will leave you breathless in some places. The Directing is incredible!. Ridley Scott is one of the best there is , he creates a lot of tension, making it always intense, with lots of cool camera angles moving it along at an incredibly fast pace, he was wonderful as usual. This movie is EXTREMELY EXTREMELY gory, weak stomachs beware!. We get Literally HUNDREDS and Hundreds of EXTREMELY bloody gunshot wounds, people are riddled with them, exploding body, people get hit by shrapnel (some of it bloody some of it graphic but non bloody), lots of badly wounded shoulders, people get blown to pieces by bombs, severed hand, someone gets nailed with a rocket launcher (Extremely gory!), TONS of VERY bloody corpses, EXTREMELY gory surgery sequences, we see lots of(guts and TONS of blood!) Blood Splatters everywhere, all the time and lots more!. The acting is outstanding!. Josh Hartnett is an extremely talented actor (in my opinion) and does amazing here , showing vulnerability , he hit all the right emotional notes and was extremely likable! (Hartnett rules!). Ewan McGregor is very good here his character was likable and he did a great job overall. Jason Isaacs is fantastic here and added a lot of class to this. Tom Sizemore is always a good actor he was great here and he played a similar role in Saving Private Ryan. Eric Bana was very good here and did what he had to do well. Sam Shepard is excellent as the General. Orlando Bloom was fine in his scenes and the rest of the cast was great!. Overall a must must see! for everyone see it now!. one of the best war films there is (possibly the 2nd best). ***** out of 5
