Truly a Wake Up Call

Rating: 10/10 (30 January 2002)

Was dying to see this movie, immediately upon release, but was uncertain I could handle it. Finally went. I recommend that all American adults see this movie. It was exceptional. I have never left a movie where everyone leaving was silenced, even the mouthy teenagers. It made you THINK!!!! Made you grateful for your life and grateful to all those who have fought and continue to fight for our lives and our freedom. I'm not a fan of war movies for the sake of a war movie, I prefer those based on true stories. I think this movie is OSCAR material. I enjoyed the performances of Tom Sizemore and Josh Hartnett; both are wonderful actors and should also be considered for OSCARS. This is a must see.
