Excellent Re-creation

Rating: 8/10 (29 December 2001)

This movie was exactly what I expected. It was a detailed, highly realistic visualization of the real-life event...nothing more. For this, I was grateful.
There was no romantic sub-plot, no over-dramatized "motivation", nothing extra was added. It was like one of those "dramatizations" from a TV newsmagazine, only the production values were high and it was far more tense and gripping than anything I have ever seen on TV.
If you want to see this re-creation of a modern-day military battle, I highly recommend the film. If you want to see a film with fully developed characters who grow and have a message, see something else.
