Finally a Vietnam war film that actually tells the truth!

Rating: 8/10 (14 July 2006)

Vietnam films have been depiction in mainly a negative light with only the exception John Wayne's film "The Green Bretes" and this one. We Were soldiers is a great depiction of how life and battle was during Vietnam. Randall Wallace unlike our friend Oliver Stone depicted American soldiers as what and who they are patriots not rapists and murderers. The battle in this film is so graphic that when i saw it in theaters i without lying can say i almost felt i was there. The acting was spectacular and portrayed the real life characters perfectly. The stunts and fire sequences combined with the knowledge of over 50 live veterans coordinating the actual events makes this one of the most accurate war films in cinematic history.
