Every story has a hero.... WARNING-SPOILER

Rating: Null/10 (24 February 2002)

I've read many of the reviews and are convinced no one has read the book. The book is unbelievable and is a must read. I recommend reading it so you can get back the experiences that Bruckheimer and Scott have taken from you.
The cinematography was excellent. But this is close to where it ends. The script follows the book fairly closely up until the second crash of Durant's Helicopter. From there the story turns into another Hollywood Hero classic, much like Pearl Harbor. What we get is another destruction of true life events in order to proclaim a hero on one main character. This is simply not how the event took place.
I don't think this movie gives homage to the Rangers and Delta Forces who fought in this battle. There wasn't just one hero. Everyone who fought in that battle was a hero.
Don't see this if you hate good stories being spoiled. However I give the movie high marks for technical merit
