Here's why it's a 7 out of 10.

Rating: 7/10 (10 December 2011)

The movie is essentially good. Great characters and battle scenes are found in this film. I feel as though most people will enjoy it. If you like war movies, you will find this movie worthy to sit down and view. The only problem I see with this film is that it feels like a combination of good scenes and lines from other films. The apolitical analysis of war in this film does not stand out from many modern war movies. The characters in this movie seem to speak dialogue that they would only speak when coming home from a war (or analyzing it when they became older men), not in the middle of it. That's not to say that most movies pull that kind of wording on the big screen, but this film felt a little forced (and sometimes cheesy). But check it out - You're best reason for checking this out: Sam Elliot. What an awesome actor!
