A pleasant surprise!

Rating: 9/10 (14 August 2001)

I didn't know much about this movie ahead of time, so I went in blindly, but I was rather surprised! The characters are realistic, and Jude Law and Ed Harris play very well opposite each other. The DVD is worth a look, too, as it has many additional features worth watching. This movie was very impressive and certainly ranks up with the top war movies ever made. It certainly covers a little-known battle, not those that we've all heard about time and again. It was not the disappointment I had feared it would be. I thoroughly enjoyed it, although it is certainly not for anyone with a weak stomach. You should certainly give this movie a chance- it's great!
