We Were Soldiers Definitely

Rating: 9/10 (25 August 2002)

I have to definitely have to recommend this movie. Having been an avid Vietnam War movie fanatic in the 1980's Vietnam War films such as Full Metal Jacket, Hanoi Hilton which portrayed the grittier side of the war, this was a change of pace. Col. Hal Moore's WE WERE SOLDIERS shows the human side of the soldiers and their families and what they all went through during this time. I also have note the performance of Sam Elliot, as Sgt.Major Plumley, this made it worth watching. I should leave out Mel Gibson's role of Col. Hal Moore. Academy shouldn't ignore this film come Academy Award nomination time
