Camaraderie Transcends the Hell of War

Rating: 8/10 (22 November 2006)

This film succeeds as a war story and morality tale!
I liked it most for its depiction of the camaraderie that can develop during wartime among a group of "strangers" whose common bond is survival and mission accomplishment, despite the petty human conflicts that arise.
The ensemble cast & soundtrack are top notch. Look to see more from these aspiring actors in the future. The Dolby 5.1 version "rocks" during the combat scenes.
In the DVD release the "Making of" feature is a much better extra than the director's & producer's commentary.
