Aren't we glad we weren't there. Kudos to the those who were.

Rating: 7/10 (30 January 1999)

Sometimes the actor gets in the way of the part. Long hair on Penn is not a WWII Sgt. I loved the movie. The key to this movie is that it shows bravery in the face of terror--young men who do incredibly brave acts even though they are afraid for their lives. Being brave does not mean you are not afraid. They acted because they believed in their "just" cause at the risk of everything. A powerful movie.
