Brutally honest

Rating: 9/10 (10 February 2003)

While BHD may not have depicted the conflict with pure realism as some people complain, it is more honest and untainted with American prejudice than almost any other film I have seen.
The horror of war and the stupidity of the American government (mainly in not authorizing heavier weaponry) is honestly shown rather than hidden behind propaganda and "hero" crap.
Hats off to Ridley Scott. Thank you for showing this to the world.
