A mind blowing war film

Rating: Null/10 (31 March 2002)

Finally comes a mind blowing war film about the Vietnam war since Apocalypse Now. The excitement and reality really paid off for this one. I´m really ****ed that many were not satisfied but I guess it depends on taste. I was really happy that American patriotic country love was at minimum. SPOILER (one American soldier says this just before he dies: I´m happy to die for my country! It is clearly another sentimental Hollywood bullshit to express love for America. And that makes me angry. END OF SPOILER. But the rest made sense. Mel Gibson brings yet another good act and Sam Elliot brings an act who deserves an Oscar. This movie has opened my eyes again for American war films, let´s hope not the last?
