Good Movie

Rating: 7/10 (10 January 2018)

I remember liking this movie a lot better the first time I watched it back after it first came out on video. Maybe it is just dated or is perhaps the kind of movie that only has a big effect on you the first time you watch it. I remember some of the scenes were very shocking to me back then. I probably don't need to say which ones I mean, it's obvious to those who have seen the movie and would be spoilers to anyone who has not watched it yet. Today though the scenes are much less shocking. Maybe it's because other movies are going a lot further now or just because I've already seen this movie before. I still think it's a very good movie that has things to say about war and men, it's just not as powerful as I originally believed. Great acting and direction and a very good script too.
