Truly nail biting stuff!

Rating: Null/10 (15 October 2002)

This film really surprised me. I was prepared for just another run-of-the-mill American war movie with the yanks taking on the "faceless" enemy. This movie added another dimension, pitting two leaders in what ultimately turns out to be a chess style strategy conflict. The characters were real, giving greater dimension to understanding the plight of young soldiers on both sides, fighting what ultimately proves to be a pointless war.
Top notch viewing, not for the squeamish.
