A very violent film with an OK story

Rating: Null/10 (12 June 2003)

This movie was OK, but did seem way to pro American. It just takes away from a story when they try to make it seem Americans are good while everyone else is so evil.
The best scenes were the fighting scenes. We get close-ups of bullets entering people's heads, soldier's skin on fire, soldiers getting stabbed. They were very realistic. Mel Gibson was good, but this movie made it seem like Col Moore was very calm and in control during the battle, but I don't that was true. I don't know how you could be in that situation with being surrounded by the enemy and greatly outnumbered. What I don't understand is why didn't they just bomb the hell out of the whole mountain when they learned that is where the enemy was. Instead, they wait till they are completed surrounded before calling the code Broken Arrow.
FINAL VERDICT: If you like war movies, then you shouldn't miss this one.
