A masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (30 May 2013)

There is very little to say about the flaws of this film, and what little there is to say is quickly forgotten and overshadowed by the amazing performances of all the main actors, the deep, meaningful dialogues and the engaging, captivating story, which is presented in a well paced manner. Not once did I feel the movie was dragging on or rushing ahead too quickly, it really is perfectly paced.
I must especially highlight the performances by K. Douglas and G. Macready. The rest of the cast is splendid too of course, but these two gentlemen truly made the movie for me.
If you like war movies with an engaging storyline, without too great an emphasis on military combat itself but with a philosophical message conveyed through amazing dialogues and acting that draws you in for the entire screen time, then this movie is for you.
