Intense, and that's it...

Rating: 7/10 (14 February 2002)

This movie was incredibly great to watch. It was so intense, but then afterwards I really didn't find too much to think about. I think that because of the fact that they left out all the controversial, anti-American things, that the movie was no more than entertainment. If you want a film that really challenges that idea of war, watch Thin Red Line. That brings in the intellectual aspect, considering philosophic questions of war. BHD simply shows you the "s***" as Vietnam vets would say. It's amazing in that, but otherwise pretty mindless and unchallenging.
