Rating: 10/10 (14 July 2005)

I cannot remember if I 1st saw this film at UT campus, in Austin, or at my Special Forces Training Camp. Either way it has had a lifelong impact. It is a film to be lived & absorbed. Like the other viewers comments, you must see it with sub-titles, not dubbed! It is now showing at the International Spy Museum in Wash. D.C. http://www.spymuseum.org/calendar/prog_2005_jul_27.asp Please take time to catch this movie! It echos with reality on todays War on Terrorism. This film runs like a documentary, you will be on the edge of your seat with the realistic war violence. All roles are realistically portrayed, this film was banned in France from it's release in 1965 until the 70's. Other recommended viewing on realistically portrayed counter insurgency, low intensity operations (Direct Action Missions) are: "Blackhawk Down", & "Tears of the Sun."
