For what it is..

Rating: Null/10 (12 December 1998)

The first time i saw this movie in August, i didn't know what to make of it. I knew i liked it. But was left numb. I saw it again in Sept. And realized that it's a great movie. It's no longer in American theaters, but will be released around nomination time next year. For the anti american sector. Like one viewer mentioned. The beach they came ashore on was 100 percent American. So it wasn't anti- rest of the allied forces- like people mention. I grew up with all the old war movies, and you can't tell me this isn't the most honest depiction of war you have ever scene. And the plot to rescue one man. Hell i was in the military, and i've seen stranger crap than this. As 4 the age factor, yeah, most military people are 18 to 21, but if u ever were in the service, the guys that stayed in were mostly in their 30's. It seems once u re-enlist. You stay the whole course in the military. So that explains the age difference. You're either a 1st termer or a lifer, there seems no in between. Anyway, i thought it was a movie that should be seen by any future military types..... PK
