A stunner

Rating: 8/10 (3 April 1999)

What a movie! Something for everybody: action packed, very well-written, emotionally engaging (a rarity for films of this genre), and superbly directed. Even the art direction is top-notch! (I won't carp about the improbability of the setup.)Probably the greatest war movie ever made, and surely the the best since FULL METAL JACKET back in '87. An instant classic.
