Attention!!! to detail, that is...

Rating: 10/10 (10 October 2007)

This movie was outstanding, moving, excellent, and it the BEST war movie genre film of all-time. This movie displaces the French "Captaine Conan" as the once-best war movie ever made. Mel Gibson outdid himself here. Based on DOCUMENTED FACTS this movie is as close to the real truth, almost a Documentary feel to it's delivery. The washing out of the blood off the choppers, the cowards back at their "safe" haven barking at those who WERE facing enemy fire on a minute basis, the wives' constant torture worrying about their husbands WHO WERE SOLDIERS...
There really IS a LTC Moore and he was instrumental for Mr's Gibson/Wallace to insert the intricate details, however minute, in this classic. A shame this movie was overlooked by many, and few, if any, substantial awards. Sometimes true class stands alone....
