A great war film

Rating: 7/10 (16 May 2007)

I have enjoyed this movie.
Jake Gyllenhaal did a splendid job. He was good in Brokeback Mountain and Proof, but he has broken new ground in doing this film. A very promising and extremely talented actor. I shall look forward to his next work.
The film was honest, and the message blatant.
I have never been a supporter of resolving conflict by violence.
I absolutely detest war. I wish more money would be spent on other things like medicine, education, helping the poor and under-privileged.
I give the film a 7 out of 10.
