A bit confusing

Rating: 8/10 (15 August 1999)

Based on the autobiography of Ron Kovic, this film tells the story of his life from when he was a boy to when he becomes a political anti-war activist. Ron Kovic, played by Tom Cruise, decides to join the Marines and fight for America in the Vietnam War. He comes home paralyzed from the chest down. Feeling betrayed by his country, he becomes an anti-war political activist.
I found this film confusing, I was often wondering what it was all about, especially when he went down to Mexico. This film is occasionally boring but usually interesting, and overall it is a well told courageous story of Ron Kovic. This film has some good war scenes and a good acting performance from Tom Cruise, but it was too boring and confusing to be fantastic.
