We were enthralled

Rating: 8/10 (18 January 2017)

In recent years so many films have churned out of Hollywood, with indifferent story/acting/substance
So often these, at best mediocre, offerings get rave 10/10 reviews here.
Unlike those films this film has a real story.
Following Hal Moore and his Batalion as they try new tactics at the beginnings of the Vietnam war.
The film doesn't glamorise war but shows the human tragedy and waste (from both sides)
Good acting throughout particularly from Gibson, makes the whole thing believable. Drama on the battlefield and at home where the wives have to deal with the news of casualties.
Thoroughly recommended. 8.5/10
