Great Portrayal of War

Rating: 8/10 (26 April 2003)

Although I wish the planning stages had been emphasized more, this movie is still a great portrayal of war and how easily something can go wrong. In particular, I felt this movie showed the utter brutality of close-in warfare and close combat in general. This is a not a movie you are going to go see for the explosions, so don't go into it thinking that--just watch an Arnold movie. However, if you go in expecting to find a compelling tale full of pyrotechnics, this will definately be your cup of tea.
