Too violent for children

Rating: Null/10 (23 April 2003)

I really enjoyed this movie, it is a very tight, honest depiction of war. We see body parts fly like crazy all over, it is a little disturbing, but if one wants to depict war, one must be honest about it.
The tension of the American soldier's struggle to extricate themselves from this horrible situation is also compelling.
Spoiler- I watched this with a student of mine (a 13 year old) from the School where I teach, Christian Academy Japan, and the violence was far too much for him. He was crying like a baby half way through the movie and I was tempted to leave the movie as he was disturbing some around us. So, be careful, don't take children to this show.
