Mel at his best

Rating: 8/10 (3 March 2002)

I think you have to see the movie twice to fully appreciate it. Mel Gibson at his best. I was also impressed with Sam Elliot's role. It was hard getting used to him without his moustache. Mel put a lot of heart into this role. I thought the troops would be more grittier. It was nice to see the movie incorporate the lives of the soldiers. It must of been real hard and very cruel for the wives to receive news of their husbands' deaths by taxi. I can see why Sam Elliot's character always thought of the worst. This movie shows what good leadership is all about. This is Mel's best performance to date. A must see on the big screen.
