Riveting - with a lot of heart

Rating: 10/10 (13 February 2002)

I have seen WE WERE SOLDIERS and I wholeheartedly recommend this film.
Randy Wallace enables us to know these men from the get go and the last half of the movie takes us so deep into the action that I had to turn away from the screen on more than one occasion.
You cannot help but shed tears when you realize the sacrifices and commitment of these soldiers and their families.
Gibson's performance is as intense as in Braveheart.
I sincerely hope moviegoers will see this picture and understand that Vietnam's soldiers are entitled to be remembered as heroes which I feel is incredibly overdue.
