Saw special (History Channel?) & director on Fox prior to Movie - Excellent

Rating: 9/10 (13 August 2005)

Prior to seeing the movie, my son and I were lucky enough to catch 2 events on TV; a special on the historical accuracy of the movie (we believe it was the History Channel), and the director on Fox (Fri night with Oliver North).
The movie was even more powerful knowing that everything in the movie (with the exception of the love theme) was accurate - timing, casualties, key participants, everything. Knowing that there was no Hollywood enhancement to the overall event made it even more compelling.
If you're a history buff or just like movies that "get it right", I would strongly recommend seeing this movie.
Seems this may have been on the shelf for a little while. I'm glad they decided to bring it out. Good stuff!!
