Dreadful

Rating: 1/10 (9 October 2005)

I cannot believe that anyone could consider Heartbreak Ridge anything but a truly dreadful film. Totally unconvincing as a depiction of military training or of War (and I have experience of both) it is full of corny one liners and is truly one of the worst war films of all time. Of particular lack of merit is the fight with Swede and the ridiculous T shirt gag that is endlessly repeated. There is also the low budget fight scenes in Greneda with these supposedly elite soldiers (having received the benefit of Gunny Highway's training) bunching together and chatting like a group of tourists. When I first saw it I really thought that it was a spoof. Clint should be ashamed of himself.
