A good war movie, not for the faint of heart or time burners

Rating: Null/10 (2 August 2001)

I liked this movie. I've always been a mel gibson fan, and i thought he was at his best here. I didn't really like heath ledger, who plays gibson's son, though i was able to tolerate him here. This movie is not historically acurate in it's depiction of actual events, but it's depiction of the time period was very well done. There was something for both men and women in this movie, although the violence could be disturbing to the squeemish. It's running time is something that has been chewed out by many online critics, but if ur not willing to sacrifice more than an hour and fourty minutes of ur precious time to see a good movie, then i doubt anyone cares what u think anyway. all in all i thought this movie was very well done and very enjoyable.
8/10 stars
