Experience this - try not to be too cynical

Rating: 10/10 (12 December 1998)

Sure, the plot was thin at times (10 under-armed men stop an armed army) Sure, the flag at the end was overkill (....but remember Schindler's List's ending....) Sure, the reference to 'monty' was insulting (and wrong) (my dad had a fit over this)
But really...get over it. This movie is not about specifics, but rather the amalgamation of a serious, harsh and at times poignant images. So if you thought the soundtrack was too loud (oh my bleeding heart)I suggest you go home and crank DOWN the Enya music. For those who were disgusted by the brutality, please understand that this was what it was like. War isn't meant to be a nice, warm, fuzzy experience.
Lastly...if you thought the movie wasn't a testimony against war...then what the f**k where you watching?
