Hard to watch, but true to the subject matter (war)

Rating: 9/10 (16 July 2000)

This is one movie I will not see again. Not because it was poorly done, but because it was very difficult to watch. To its credit, it was very frank in its handling of the subject of war, and how war does not discriminate who it hurts or how or when or why. It just hurts. A lot.
If you do not have difficulty with frank violence, I highly recommend this movie. It is *very powerful*.
I understand that there were some historical inaccuracies in the film, but I think picking those out is missing the point. This film is about the brutality of war--nothing more, nothing less.
