Not "historically accurate" but still an excellent movie

Rating: Null/10 (9 December 2000)

If you want to go to this movie to see a "historically accurate" film you might want to leave, but if you want to see a movie that shows patriotism, leadership, sacrifice and then is finished off with heart pounding action then this is the movie for you. This isn't one of those "Rambo" movies where the ship can dodge around 20 salvos of gunfire or the "John Wayne" type where they spend half the time with the girls and the rest is a mixed bag, this is a movie which should go in a class of it's own. I was most amazed that this movie wasn't based around the latest "special effects" that required a gazillion dollars, although the scenes were very realistic. The plot was also impressive because it didn't revolve around a "revenge" or "save the hostage" theme.
Because this movie didn't fall into any of the above pitfalls of the most "modern" movies then I give it a 9 out of 10.
