Review for Film Studies

Rating: 9/10 (5 January 2009)

I loved this movie. It was an interesting look at the war and the repercussions it had on a small urban area. The steel mill created a feeling of real life working people being shipped off to the war without any experience. I felt connected with each character because they showed their lives, jobs and women. Once they got to the war it showed that they were split up. They met up again through coincidence and ended up being captured. Mike helped to keep the composure of the others while they are forced to play Russian roulette. After retuning home mike goes back to get Nicky and ends up having to play him in roulette. Nicky ends up killing himself and after mike returns to his home and the movie ends. I enjoyed this movie a lot and i think it was one of the best that we watched this year. thank you Craven
