It's Horror meets History and I liked It!

Rating: Null/10 (18 March 2002)

I loved this film. Even though this film is based on the novel from Harold G. Moore and Joseph L .Galloway, Randal Wallace (person who wrote Pearl Harbor) wrote and directed the film. It's about Lt. Coloniel Hal Moore (portrayed by Mel Gibson) and other soldiers who have family, wife and kids go to war in Vietnam in 1965. Hal and the other soldiers were surrounded by about two thousand or so of North Vietnamese soldiers and have to clear them out. I liked the Hong Kong stylized violent sequences of this film because of the grapic war scenes were in slow motion instead of fast-paced. We Were Soldiers is dedicated to the soldiers who died in the vietnam war but the bloodbath in this film made it into a resident evil-esque version of the flick "Pearl Harbor". For the horror , gorethirsty and splatter fans, try watching this movie!
