A first few minutes of raw violence

Rating: 8/10 (29 August 2011)

Well, in most of the reviews written about this movie, you can find one thing in common i.e the first 30 minutes of war scene depiction. No doubt that is one of the best ever war depictions ever made. We've never been to any war to vouch for something as real. But the first few minutes of the movie looks like straight from the battleground. A sheer raw terror is unleashed.
The story is all about saving one person whose all three brothers are dead. According to a policy of the US government, the lone survivor of the family should be saved. The whole movie shows the efforts of the U.S troops to find out the person.
There is some amount of banality in the movie. But overall the movie is a good one and considered one of the best war movies ever made.
