Realistic and True!

Rating: 10/10 (4 July 2004)

Typical liberal pacifists slam this movie. But, this is true, honest, and delivers a message. If you don't like the message, SHAME ON YOU!!!
Gibson and Kinear give a stellar performance. The soundtrack reminded me of Vangelis, but hit the emotional button harder. This film not only showed the war-front experience, but also showed the tensions of the family left behind.
Editing is superb. The only minor complaint might be the explosive special effects, but you're so caught up in the movie, that you don't notice.
Ranks up there with the best!!
