A vastly underrated film, great Ridley Scott...

Rating: 8/10 (30 July 2001)

Ridley Scott, one of the world's top directors, made a great film in 1997 that got trashed by the critics, but Heaven knows why. I know...because critics are morons. This is a great military film, packed with tension, good dialog, excellent cinematography, and great performances. This is definitely worth seeing and I hope they do a special edition DVD in the near future. I give the film a 93 or an 8/10. Can't wait for Scott's next military-themed venture, 2002's BLACK HAWK DOWN. Ridley rules!
