Harder than "Windtalkers"

Rating: 7/10 (5 April 2003)

My wife had tears during this brutal movie. It is no doubt a very intense and realistic suicide war movie in Vietnam. The story tells us much about the soldiers family, the morality and the hope in god. But it shows also how fatal and silly the adventure for a battle like in Vietnam could be.
Congratulations to all the stuff. Mel Gibson did a solid performance. The director created a masterpiece that overtakes perhaps "Platoon". The music was very fine and melancholy. Great special effects and top picture. Why "We Were Soldiers" didn´t won at least one Oscar, Hollywood?
I can definitive recommend it to every war movie fan and to all them who can see to very violent scenes. Don´t miss the other true story "WINDTALKERS".

7/10.
